Tumor initiation cells or cancer stem cell markers ABCG2 and ALDH1 play pivotal roles in invasion, metastasis, and resistance to cytotoxic agents. In this study, we evaluated the expression levels of ALDH1 and ABCG2 in Iraqi patients with colon cancer and/or benign colon tumors. We also investigated the association between the expression levels of these markers and patients clinicopathological features. The expression levels of ALDH1 and ABCG2 in cancer tissues as well as in benign tumor samples were determined by immunohistochemistry using tumor tissues microarray of TNM (Tumor, Node, Metastasis) in 42 patients with colon cancer samples as well as in 18 corresponding benign tumors. Immunohistochemistry showed that ALDH1 and ABCG2 expression levels were increased by 80% and 76%, respectively in colon cancer tissues as compared to 33% and 28% in benign tumor tissues. The expression levels of ALDH1 and ABCG2 were associated with stages. No significant association was found between the expressions levels of these markers and tumor size, gender, patients' age, and lymph node involvement. These results indicate that the expression levels of ALDH1 and ABCG2 were increased in colon cancer tissues compared to benign tumor tissues in Iraqi patients.
