1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Tissue factor (TF) initiates the coagulation cascade but also plays a role in cancer and metastasis. This transmembrane protein is frequently upregulated on tumor cells and cells that show metastatic behavior. Furthermore, it is a significant risk factor for hepatic metastasis in patients suffering from colon cancer.
