“…RKIP has been shown to be a multifunctional protein in carcinogenesis, being implicated in the control of cellular growth, motility, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, differentiation, invasion and tumor metastasization [9,10,11]. Thus, many studies have implicated RKIP in the malignant progression of several human solid tumors, being an important prognostic biomarker for a number of tumors including prostate, colorectal, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, gastric adenocarcinoma of the intestinal subtype, hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and also high-grade gliomas [9,12,13,14,15]. …”
