Cancer‐associated fibroblasts predict poor outcome and promote periostin‐dependent invasion in oesophageal adenocarcinoma
27 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
Interactions between cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play an important role in tumour development and progression. In this study we investigated the functional role of CAFs in oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We used immunochemistry to analyse a cohort of 183 EAC patients for CAF markers related to disease mortality. We characterized CAFs and normal oesophageal fibroblasts (NOFs) using...
