Abstract

Aims and background: In this study we investigated the association between BCL2 expression and neuroendocrine differentiation in tubular adenomas and colon carcinomas. We also evaluated the prognostic significance of BCL2 expression and neuroendocrine differentiation in the carcinoma group.
