Eighteen cases of endocervical tubal metaplasia (tubal metaplasia) and 16 cases of adenocarcinoma in situ were reacted immunohistochemically for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and vimentin. Whereas CEA was more frequently positive in adenocarcinoma in situ cases (63%) than in tubal metaplasia cases (39%), vimentin was not expressed in adenocarcinoma but was positive in 78% of cases of tubal metaplasia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
