Tissue microarrays from 629 resected primary lung cancers and 422 resected pulmonary epithelial metastases from various sites (whereof 275 colorectal cancer) were investigated for the immunohistochemical expression of CDH17, GPA33, MUC2, MUC6, SATB2, and SMAD4, for comparison with CDX2, CK20, CK7, and TTF-1. This evidence concerns the gene GPA33 and colorectal cancer.
