Abstract | OBJECTIVE: STUDY DESIGN: RESULT: All the cases showed positivity (100%) for Cathepsin D with intense expression noted in ACC and MEC as compared to PLGA. Comparison of these tumors revealed statistical significant difference in expression between ACC and PLGA. CONCLUSION: Intense expression of Cathepsin D in high grade carcinomas may be a marker for invasive potential and aggressive behavior.
