Sample information
Conclusion: EMA overexpression appears to be a marker of malignant transformation in the endometrium and it is an independent predictor of recurrent disease in endometrial cancer.
Sample type : tissue
Sample method: immunostaining
Expression pattern : overexpression
Expression elevation: Staining cell numbers were scored as none, weak (+, ,<33%), moderate (++, 33– 66%), and intense (+++, >66%). Overexpression was defined as intense staining. EMA immunostaining was observed in the apical membrane, cytoplasm, and luminal content.
