Immunohistochemical study of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype in cancer of unknown primary: Incidence, correlations and prognostic utility
(2012)Background: The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been associated with metastatic dissemination and poor outcome in several solid tumour types. Our aim was to study its incidence and its prognostic significance ...

Article
Insights into the epithelial mesenchymal transition phenotype in cancer of unknown primary from a global microRNA profiling study
(2014)Purpose: We sought to study the microRNA regulation of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), the acquisition of migratory, mesenchymal-like properties of epithelial cells, in cancer of unknown primary (CUP). Patients ...

Article
Intracellular signalling via the AKT axis and downstream effectors is active and prognostically significant in cancer of unknown primary (CUP): A study of 100 CUP cases
(2012)Background: Hypothesising that cancer of unknown primary (CUP) may harbour unique characteristics, we present a translational study of the immunohistochemical expression and clinical correlation of key PTEN/AKT pathway ...

Profiling immunohistochemical expression of NOTCH1-3, JAGGED1, cMET, and phospho-MAPK in 100 carcinomas of unknown primary
(2012)Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a heterogeneous entity, managed on the basis of "one size fits all" therapeutic concepts; insights into the molecular biology of CUP are urgently needed. We retrospectively examined the ...

Prognostic significance of WNT and hedgehog pathway activation markers in cancer of unknown primary
(2015)Background: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) possesses distinct biology and peculiar natural history, in which the roles of the winged and hedgehog signalling pathways are unclear. Materials and methods: We constructed ...
