Zusammenfassung:Highlights • CES-2 protein levels in colorectal cancer in situ are not related to tumor grade. • Independent of their origin neuroendocrine tumors are devoid of CES-2 protein. • CES-2high plasma cells are found in intestinal tissue of cancer and inflammation. • In hepatocytes, CES-2 expression declines during tumorigenesis. • Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy donors express low levels of CES-2.
