Sample information

Conclusion: This is the first study examining the expression of SLeX, SLeA and LeY in EC, which can serve as additional future prognostic markers.

Sample type : serum

Sample method: immunohistochemistry

Expression pattern : upregulated

Expression elevation: We evaluated the expression of SLeX, SLeA and LeY using the well-established semi-quantitative immunoreactive score (IRS). Therefore, intensity was rated between 0 and 3 (0 = no staining, 1 = low intensity, 2 = moderate intensity, 3 = high intensity). The percentage of the stained tumor cells was subdivided and rated as follows: 0 = 0%, 1 = 1–10%, 2 = 11–50%; 3 = 51–80%; 4 = 81–100%). The values for intensity and stained percentage were multiplied to obtain the IRS. This was done for each spot on the TMA individually. We used the mean of all three scores to assess the final IRS for each patient.
