We examined whether the expression of thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) was associated with patient
prognosis after liver resection for metastatic colorectal cancer. Eighty-four patients
underwent resection of liver metastases from colorectal cancer, leaving no macroscopic
evidence of residual tumor. Immunohistochemical study was performed to evaluate the
relation among Trx-1, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and redox factor-1 (Ref-1)
expression and the clinicopathologic characteristics and patient survival. Thirty-seven …
