The Association between Fas/FasL Expression in Lung Cancer and Lymph Node Metastasis

Objective To explore the association between Fas/FasL expression in lung cancer and lymph node metastasis . Methods Fas and FasL expressions were studied in 42 sections of lung cancer by immunohistochemistry.FasL was also detected in 16 sections of metastatic lymph node. Results Fas expression was detected in 52.3% of lung cancer with no difference between squamous cell carcinoma(58.3%) and adenocarcinoma(44.4%) (P>0.05) . There was no association between the loss of Fas expression in lung cancer and ly...
