Background: The chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its associate receptor CXCR7, that modulates CXCR4 function, have been associated with tumor progression and metastasis in human cancers. In ACC, Ki67 index and ENSAT stage are the most important prognostic parameters.Objective: To assess expression of CXCR4 and CXCR7 in adrenal cancer and correlate results with clinical outcome.Methods: CR expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry...
