Gene expression profile in the activation of subperitoneal fibroblasts reflects prognosis of patients with colon cancer
15 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
Tumors can create a heterogenetic tumor microenvironment. We recently identified the pathologically unique cancer microenvironment formed by peritoneal invasion (CMPI), and revealed that subperitoneal fibroblasts (SPFs) within peritoneal tissue play a crucial role in tumor progression through their interaction with cancer cells. Therefore, the genes in SPFs altered by cancer stimulation may include some...
