Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Caveolin-1 (Cav-1), which has been proposed as a candidate tumor suppressor, plays a regulatory role in several signaling pathways. High expression of Cav-1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) may enhance tumor cell migration and correlate with poor prognosis of the patients, while the genetic alterations of Cav-1 during nasopharyngeal carcinogenesis are still largely unknown. The aim of this study was...
