TGFA and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma: We examined samples from 87 resected type II GEJ adenocarcinomas, 30 of these with endoscopic diagnostic biopsy material, to evaluate transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-α) expression and p53 overexpression by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization (for TGF-α), in relation to biological and clinical behaviour.
