Globally, esophageal cancer (EC) is the 6th leading cause of cancer-related deaths and the
second deadliest gastrointestinal cancer. Multiple genetic and epigenetic factors, such as …

Background Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality. The neoplastic transformation
of normal cells to cancer cells is caused by a progressive accumulation of genetic and …

Background The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) enables dissociation of tumour
cells from the primary tumour mass, invasion through the extracellular matrix, intravasation …

Background The function of a new long non-coding RNA linc00673 remains unclear. While
identified as an oncogenic player in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), linc00673 was …

Oral cancer is one of the leading cancers in South-Asian countries. Despite the easy access
of the oral cavity, the detection and five year survival rates of OSCC patients are dismal …

Metastasis is a phenomenon of crucial importance in defining prognosis in patients with
cancer and is often responsible for cancer-related mortality. It is known that several steps are …

Background Emerging studies show that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important
roles in carcinogenesis and cancer progression. The lncRNA ZEB1 antisense 1 (ZEB1-AS1) …

Molecular signaling pathways involved in cancer have been intensively studied due to their
crucial role in cancer cell growth and dissemination. Among them, zinc finger E-box binding …

There is a growing interest to understand the role and mechanism of action of microRNAs
(miRNAs) in cancer. The miRNAs are defined as short non-coding RNAs (18-22nt) that …

Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a central regulatory program that is similar in
many aspects to several steps of embryonic morphogenesis. In addition to its physiological …
