Abstract:Background. Because of its high metastatic potential, inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most lethal and aggressive form of breast cancer. We previously demonstrated that Myristoylated Alanine-Rich C Kinase Substrate (MARCKS) protein overexpression was associated with shorter metastasis-free survival (MFS) in IBC patients, but not in non-IBC (nIBC) patients. However, the mechanism of action of MARCKS and its particular association to poorer outcome in IBC compared to nIBC are poorly understood. Methods. W… 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.
