The aim of our study was to evaluate the expression of special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2), expressed in the vast majority of colorectal carcinomas, and other gastrointestinal phenotypic markers, such as cytokeratin 7, cytokeratin 20 and caudal type homeobox 2 (CDX2), in 100 small bowel adenocarcinomas. This evidence concerns the gene KRT7 and small intestine adenocarcinoma.
