Abstract excerpt
Our recent study has shown that transcription factor Sp1 is an independent prognostic factor in gastric cancer. However, it is unclear how Sp1 impacts gastric cancer biology. Since Sp1 regulates multiple genes important to angiogenesis, we sought to evaluate the relationship between Sp1 expression and microvessel density (MVD) as well as their effects on cancer patient survival. The expression of Sp1 and status...
