Abstract:Identification of the required hallmarks for the tumor cells to disseminate to the liver represents an important milestone to delay cancer progression, and consequently to avoid the harmful consequences for patients. Largely unknown, a myriad of cell properties seem to cooperate in a successful metastatic process and in the chemo-/radio- therapeutic resistance. Our aim is to define the intrinsic characteristics of tumor cells that may contribute to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in early and late meta… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
