title="Expression of β-catenin and its correlation with metastatic progression of esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma",
abstract="The evaluation of β-catenin expression in adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction and its influence on cancer progression.  Sixty-one patients who were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction were examined. We evaluated β-catenin distribution in the cell membrane and the cell nucleus in adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction type 1 and type 3.  Our findings showed lack of a statistically significant difference in evaluation of adenocarcinoma type 1 and type 3 aggressiveness. However, we found a statistically significant association with the T and N stage, although we did not find an effect of them on patient survival.   Patients with cellular membrane and cell nucleus staining comprise a group of patients with higher risk of malignancy progression in adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction types 1 and 3.",
