Since E- and N-cadherin have generally been implicated in the process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) during the invasion and metastases of carcinomas, we compared the respective primary carcinomas with their lymph node and foreign metastases and evaluated the intensity of staining by means of a semiquantitative, automated analysis (QuPath). The gene discussed is CDH2; the disease is carcinoma.
