We sought to determine if the expression of CSC markers (aldehyde dehydrogenase [ALDH], CD44, and epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR]) predicted outcomes in soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) patients.
We analyzed the membranous expression pattern of CD44H and CD44 variant exons and assessed the relation between expression of CD44s and metastasis-free survival rates (MFSR) of patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
