Abstract :

Many parameters of colorectal carcinoma have been investigated. An important parameter is mucin production. However, data regarding mucin production is confusing. This study was conducted to note the characteristics of colorectal carcinoma in regard to mucin production using histochemistry. A cross sectional observational study was conducted in 50 cases of colorectal carcinoma. Sections were stained with PAS, Alcian blue– PAS, Alcian blue–Acid fuchsin stains. It was observed that significant depletion of total mucin occurs in colorectal cancers. Neutral mucin is replaced by acidic mucin in cancer. Sulphomucins are depleted while sialomucins predominate in carcinoma.
