Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) stimulates cell motility as well as mitotic activity of cells. High concentrations of HGF or overexpression of its cellular receptor c-Met in cancer have been reported. We analyzed the expression status of c-Met immunohistochemically in 76 cases of human esophageal cancer. Overexpression of c-Met was noted at a considerably high frequency. Intriguingly, c-Met overexpression was...
