Accumulating evidence suggests that the phenomenon of epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) plays a fundamental role in the tumor development. Several research articles have been published from Journal of Experimental and Clinical Cancer Research (JECCR) which have investigated into the molecular machineries underlying the importance of EMT for hepatic cancer. Given those recent publications by JECCR, this commentary focuses on the pathological significance of EMT for liver tumor.
越来越多的证据表明,上皮-间质转化(EMT)现象在肿瘤发展中起着至关重要的作用。《实验与临床癌症研究杂志》(JECCR)发表了几篇研究文章,探讨了EMT对肝癌重要性的分子机制。鉴于JECCR最近发表的这些文章,本评论聚焦于EMT对肝肿瘤的病理意义。
