DP Toth, LC Guenther, DT Shum - Journal of dermatological science, 1996 - Elsevier
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a nuclear protein which is correlated with the S-
phase of the cell cycle and has been utilized by many investigators as a marker of cell
proliferation. A previous immunohistochemical study revealed increased PCNA staining in
clinically and histologically aggressive basal cell carcinoma and the present study evaluated
the prognostic value of PCNA in clinical recurrence of primary basal cell carcinoma. Thirty
patients with primary basal cell carcinoma (BCC) treated with shave biopsy followed by …
