RESUMO
Aims/background—To analyse the different isoforms of CD44 in various types of endocrine pancreatic and gut carcinoid tumours and to investigate the relation between their expression and tumour dissemination. This study was prompted by the recent observation that inappropriate splicing of the CD44 gene was correlated with tumour progression and metastasis formation in a number of human cancers.
