Glypicans (GPC) are involved in the developmental morphogenesis and regulatory processes of cell signalling. Abnormal expression has been observed in different cancer types.

One hundred and thirty-seven colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and 44 nodal metastases were used to create tissue microarrays. Immunohistochemistry was done to detect and evaluate the impact of immunostaining patterns of GPC-3 protein in CRC.

GPC-3 immunostaining is increased in CRC and nodal metastasis (p < 0.001) and was not association with clinicopathological parameters. GPC-3 immunostaining was associated with longer disease-free survival (p = 0.021) and overall survival (p = 0.05).

For the first time, we show GPC-3 immunostaining association with survival outcomes in CRC. GPC-3 may be used as an independent prognostic factor for survival in CRC.
