Immunohistochemical detection of the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 protein

... in primary and metastatic melanoma

 

Recent publication

The chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 is discussed as a possible target for new therapies in metastatic melanoma. At the University Hospital St. Pölten, the proteoglycan expression was investigated in 189 tissue samples from melanomas. The improved understanding of the role of chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan 4 in cancer helps to develop new therapeutic approaches. The study was funded by the NÖ Forschungs- und Bildungsges.m.b.H.. Results were published freely in the journal "Oncology Letters" thanks to KL's open-access funding.
