Molecular assignment of tissue of origin in cancer of unknown primary may not predict response to therapy or outcome: A systematic literature review
(2009)Background: Gene expression profiling platforms were recently shown to accurately assign cancer of unknown primary (CUP) to a primary tissue of origin, with unknown impact on patient outcome. We examined chemotherapy ...

A twisted kiss: In vitro and in vivo evidence of genetic variation and suppressed transcription of the metastasis-suppressor gene KiSS1 in early breast cancer
(2010)KiSS-1 is a metastasis suppressor gene, its inactivation linked to advanced tumor stage and dismal prognosis. We studied its mutational status, transcription and protein expression in human cancer cell lines and patients ...
