Abstract

Background: Adhesion molecules play an important role(s) in inflammation, tumor cell progression and invasion. Here we investigated tissue levels of selectins (E-, L-, and P-selectins), activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecules (ALCAM), and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecules-1 (PECAM-1) in a series of patients with glial tumors and controls.
