title: Epithelial antigens in carcinomas of the ovaries. Relation to histological classification.
abstract: In an attempt to assess and improve the histological classification of ovarian tumors the value of immunohistochemical techniques has been examined in 50 ovarian tumors. A panel of six immunohistochemical markers (two cytokeratins, EP4, EMA, CEA, and vimentin) seems to have no additional value in differential diagnosis and typing of ovarian tumors.
