Immunohistochemical study of galectin-3 expression in basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, seborrheic keratosis and keratoacanthoma

Conclusion The marked decrease in nuclear galectin-3 expression suggests that decreased nuclear galectin-3 expression in tumors is an important factor in the progression from normal to tumor states. So, we speculate that nuclear galectin-3 expression may be one of the factors that contribute to tumor behavior in cutaneous BCC.
