Abstract
LIF was immunohistochemically demonstrated in normal, hyperplastic and malignant endometrial tissue, suggesting a widespread but complex role for LIF in hyperplastic and malignant endometrial growth regulation. AH I-III also expressed LIF with statistically higher immunostaining than adenocarcinoma. Since AH III can be considered as a precursor of endometrial cancer, LIF could be a marker of cell transformation.
