Lymphatic expression of CLEVER-1 in breast cancer and its relationship with lymph node metastasis [PDF]
BACKGROUND Mechanisms regulating breast cancer lymph node metastasis are unclear. Staining of CLEVER-1 (common lymphatic endothelial and vascular endothelial receptor-1) in human breast tumors was used, along with in vitro techniques, to assess ...

LNMAC Promotes Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma Lymphatic Metastasis via Epigenetic Regulation of FGF2‐Induced Lymphangiogenesis [PDF]
The lymph node is the most common site of distant metastasis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), which elicits dismal prognosis and limited efficiency for treatment. Elucidation of the mechanisms underlying CSCC lymphatic metastasis would provide

Lymphatic endothelium stimulates melanoma metastasis and invasion via MMP14-dependent Notch3 and β1-integrin activation [PDF]
Lymphatic invasion and lymph node metastasis correlate with poor clinical outcome in melanoma. However, the mechanisms of lymphatic dissemination in distant metastasis remain incompletely understood.

An acidic microenvironment promotes lymphatic metastasis of melanoma by Thy-1 in endothelial cells and integrin αvβ3 in tumor cells [PDF]
Melanoma tissues exhibit an acidic microenvironment compared with that of surrounding normal tissues. However, the effects of acidic conditions on the lymphatic metastasis, a crucial prognostic factor for patients with melanoma, are unclear.

PKM2 promotes lymphatic metastasis of hypopharyngeal carcinoma via regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition: an experimental research [PDF]
Background Patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma (HPC) have a poor prognosis mainly because of lymphatic metastasis. This research aimed to determine the PKM2 role in lymphatic metastasis in HPC and the underlying molecular mechanism contributing to ...
