Tumors	Endocan Expression	Prognosis	Litterature
Breast	Endocan gene expression studies	Higher risk of metastasis	van 't Veer et al., 2002
Lung	Endocan gene expression studies Endocan intratumor immunostaining & high levels of serum endocan	Bad prognosis signature Seems to correlate with metastasis	Borczuk et al., 2004 Grigoriu et al., 2006
Brain	Endocan expression is increased in endothelial cells in high grade glioblastoma	High expression correlate to a shorter survival	Maurage et al., 2009
Ovary	Endocan gene expression studies	Bad prognosis signature	Buckanovich et al., 2007
Kidney	Endocan gene expression studies by microarrays Endocan intratumor immunostaining and increase of circulating level of endocan	Bad prognosis signature Renal clear cell carcinoma of poor prognosis	Amatschek et al., 2004 ; Lenburg et al., 2003, Cifola et al., 2008 Leroy et al., 2010
Liver	Microvascular density measured through endocan immunostaining (endocan-MVD)	Independent prognostic marker for overall survival	Huang et al., 2009
