“…However, more recently, ANXA1 protein has been recognized to be differentially expressed in various human tumors, e.g., breast cancer, prostate cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, endometrial carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and colorectal cancer [2-13]. Loss/aberrant expression pattern of ANXA1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, and endometrial carcinoma could be correlated with altered tumor behavior, e.g., dedifferentiation of tumor cells, increased invasiveness, and thus with tumor progression [6,8-10,12]. On the other hand, increased expression pattern of ANXA1 in hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer was shown to be associated with tumor growth, lymph node metastasis, and advanced disease stages, and consequently with poor patient outcome [11,13,14].…”
