Clinically relevant tumors with complete or almost complete absence of MUC5AC staining included small cell carcinoma of the lung (0% of 17), papillary thyroid carcinoma (0% of 359), breast cancer (2% of 1097), prostate cancer (2% of 228), soft tissue tumors (0.1% of 968), hematological neoplasias (0% of 111), and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (0% of 507). This evidence concerns the gene MUC5AC and prostate cancer.
