  1. Summary of the results obtained in studies that assessed the prevalence of P-cadherin expression in invasive breast carcinomas and its correlation with various factors: tumour size, axillary lymph node metastasis, histological grade, levels of oestrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2, MIB1, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), basal cytokeratins (CKs) and p53 expression, and patient survival. Information concerning whether P-cadherin was considered to be an independent predictor of outcome and about the monoclonal antibody (mAb) used in the immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis is also included. +, direct significant correlation; -, inverse significant correlation; ND, not determined; NS, no significant correlation.
