Abstract excerpt
Met tyrosine kinase, the receptor for HGF/SF, is important in various cellular functions, including proliferation, mitogenesis, formation of branching tubules, angiogenesis, and tumor cell invasion and metastasis. However, the role of Met/HGF signaling pathway in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has not been evaluated. In this study, we determined the expression profile and clinical correlation of Met/HGF in 66...
