Abstract excerpt
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process is a crucial step for tumor invasion and metastasis. Previous research investigating EMT has mostly focused on its role in cancer progression. Recent studies showed that EMT and EMT-driving transcription factor (EMT-TF) expression are early events in lung cancer pathogenesis, implying a potential association between EMT and lung cancer risk. In this study, we...
