In order to analyse if MAN1A1 expression also has an effect on the prognostic role of adhesion proteins in OvCa, we chose ICAM-1 and ALCAM, which were shown to correlate with RFS and OAS in breast cancer in prior studies.32,33 In ovarian tumours, our first analysis did not reveal any prognostic significance for these CAMs and stratification for MAN1A1 levels did not show any effect in the case of ICAM-1. This evidence concerns the gene ICAM1 and breast carcinoma.
