Mechanisms that link the oncogenic epithelial–mesenchymal transition to suppression of anoikis
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
The oncogenic epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) contributes to tumor progression in various context-dependent ways, including increased metastatic potential, expansion of cancer stem cell subpopulations, chemo-resistance and disease recurrence. One of the hallmarks of EMT is resistance of tumor cells to anoikis. This resistance contributes to metastasis and is a defining property not only of EMT but also of...
