Strong association of fascin expression with triple negative breast cancer and basal-like phenotype in African-American women
28 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fascin, an actin bundling protein, plays a critical role in cell motility due to formation of actin rich protrusions called filopodia, important in cell migration, invasion and metastatic spread. Fascin overexpression has been associated with epithelial to mesenchymal transition and correlates with progression and unfavourable prognosis in breast carcinoma. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate fascin expression by...
