Prognostic gene-expression signature of carcinoma-associated fibroblasts in non-small cell lung cancer
7 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
The tumor microenvironment strongly influences cancer development, progression, and metastasis. The role of carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in these processes and their clinical impact has not been studied systematically in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). We established primary cultures of CAFs and matched normal fibroblasts (NFs) from 15 resected NSCLC. We demonstrate that CAFs have greater...
