CDX-2 homeobox gene and MUC2 expression identifies true mucinous (so-called colloid) carcinoma of the lung and justifies its indolent outcome

Abstract

CDX-2/MUC2 coordinated expression may be helpful in distinguishing mucinous carcinoma from mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, a lung cancer frequently associated with recurrences and multicentricity
