Systematic study of tissue factor expression in solid tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Elevated tissue factor (TF) expression, although restricted in normal tissue, has been reported in multiple solid cancers, and expression has been associated with poor prognosis. This manuscript compares TF expression across various solid tumor types via immunohistochemistry in a single study, which has not been performed previously.

Aims

To increase insight in the prevalence and cellular localization of TF expression across solid cancer types, we performed a detailed and systematic analysis of TF expression in tumor tissue obtained from patients with ovarian, esophageal, bladder, cervical, endometrial, pancreatic, prostate, colon, breast, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and glioblastoma. The spatial and temporal
