Cycle of stem cells EpCAM (+) tumor cells display poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma resection of the curative effect.
Von biomichael825, 28.11.2012, 16:14We previously proposal, epithelial cell adhesion molecule positive (EpCAM (+)) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells form a population of initiating the tumorigenic cells and liver cell carcinoma specimens line. Here, EpCAM (+) circulating tumor cells (CTC) in liver cell carcinoma patients prospectively determine the effect and prognosis of significanceand resection, their stem cell characteristics for further investigation. From 123 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma of the blood sample testing and 1 month ago after resection.
