Secreted proteins as potential biomarkers in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands
Secreted proteins are involved in several physiological mechanisms. In solid tumors, it can be used as diagnostic and prognostic tools. Human anterior gradient 2 (AGR2) and CD10 are proteins secreted in body fluids in prostate cancer. The main of this study was to evaluate expression of the secreted proteins AGR2 and CD10 in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the salivary gland. A total of 20 cases of ACC of the salivary glands were examined by immunohisto-chemistry method. Female was more affected (70%) with age varying from 10 to 79.
