Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The procoagulant state in cancer increases the thrombotic risk, but also supports tumor progression. To investigate the molecular mechanisms controlling cancer and hemostasis, we conducted a case-control study of genotypic and phenotypic variables of the tissue factor (TF) pathway of coagulation in breast cancer. METHODS: 366 breast cancer patients and 307 controls were genotyped for SNPs (n = 41) in...
