Abstract excerpt
The switch of carcinoma cells from an epithelial to a mesenchymal-like phenotype, via a process designated 'epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT),' has been recognized as a relevant step in the metastasis of solid tumors. Additionally, this phenotypic switch of carcinoma cells has been associated with the acquisition of tumor resistance mechanisms that reduce the antitumor effects of radiation, chemotherapy...
