CyclinD1 Expression among Sudanese Patients with Colorectal Cancer

Cyclin D1 plays a vital role in cancer cell cycle progression and it is overexpressed in many human cancers, including colorectal cancer. This study aimed to detect cyclin D1 in colorectal cancer patients and to correlate cyclin D1 expression with different pathological changes in the colorectum. Methods: Tissue microarray paraffin blocks with 48 colorectal cancer samples were retrieved from the archives of Elrahma Medical Center. Cyclin D1 was analyzed. Results: Cyclin D1 did not correlate with pathological alterations or with a particular tumor grade. Conclusion: The results indicate that cyclin D1 does not correlate with pathological alterations in colorectal cancer.
