Epithelial antigens in carcinomas of the ovaries. Relation to histological classification.
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.
