Prognostic value of tumor progression-related gene expression in colorectal cancer patients
Journal of Cancer Research & Clinical Oncology, 06/04/2012
Uhlmann ME et al. – Tenfold increased expression levels of osteopontin (Opn), transforming growth factor β (Tgf–β), matrix metalloproteinase–2 (Mmp–2) and cyclooxigenase–2 (Cox–2) in a subset of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients did not predict for a clinical outcome that is different from that of the remaining patients.
