CDC7 Protein Expression in Salivary Gland Tumors Across 46 Cases

46 cases of salivary gland tumors and normal tissue were analyzed for cell division cycle-7 protein expression. The study by Zohreh Jaafari‐Ashkavandi found higher expression intensity in malignant tumors compared to benign ones, correlating with tumor grade. This dataset likely contains the underlying immunohistochemical scores and clinicopathologic factors from that analysis.

Use Cases

• Train a model to predict tumor malignancy based on CDC7 expression levels mentioned in the description
• Analyze the correlation between protein expression intensity and tumor grade as described in the study
• Benchmark immunohistochemical scoring methods for CDC7 across different salivary gland tumor types

Strengths

• Data is derived from a peer-reviewed study with explicit statistical results (p = 0.000).
• Includes a comparison across 15 adenoid cystic carcinoma, 12 mucoepidermoid carcinoma, 14 pleomorphic adenoma, and 5 normal salivary gland cases.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
