Prognostic importance of epithelial–mesenchymal transition‐related protein expression in gastric carcinoma
1 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is defined as switching of polarized epithelial cells to a migratory fibroblastoid phenotype. EMT is known to be involved in the progression and metastasis of various cancers. The aim was to evaluate the expression of EMT-related proteins in gastric carcinoma (GC). METHODS AND RESULTS: The expression of nine EMT-related proteins in the GC tissues of 598 patients was...
