Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to investigate urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (uPAR) microexpression in gastroesophageal cancer (adenocarcinomas) both qualitatively and semi-quantitatively and to evaluate if it offers a possibility for future imagining purposes.
Detailed Description:
* Sections of the tumor tissue will be HE stained.
* Sections of the tumor tissue will be stained with an uPAR antibody for immunohistochemistry.
* Immunohistochemical staining against cytokeratin which colors cancer cells will be made to assist the observer in the evaluation of uPAR microexpression pattern.
* A semiqualitative scale corresponding to the level of uPAR expression will be made.
* Quantitative polymerase chain reaction will be used to validate the immunohistochemistry uPAR expression pattern.
* An electronic scoring system (digital pathology) will be trained to access the expression of uPAR in both tumor- and normal tissue.
