High expression of Lewis y antigen and CD44 is correlated with resistance to chemotherapy in epithelial ovarian cancers.
OBJECTIVES:To measure Lewis y antigen and CD44 antigen expression in epithelial ovarian carcinoma and to correlate the levels of these antigens with clinical response to chemotherapy. METHODS:The study cases included 34 cases of ovarian carcinoma with resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs, 6 partiall...
