Journal ArticleDOI
Increase in the circulating level of hepatocyte growth factor in gastric cancer patients.
TL;DR: The circulating levels of HGF were elevated in approximately one-third of patients with primary gastric cancer, particularly in those with high grades of histological tumour invasion and venous invasion, and frequently in patients with distant metastases, suggesting that HGF might play important roles in the tumour progression of gastriccancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between matrix metalloproteinase expression and tumor angiogenesis in human breast carcinoma
TL;DR: MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions were frequently co-upregulated with endothelial growth regulators in human breast cancer tissues, which underlines the cooperative function of MMPs in neovascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic evaluation of the 21-gene signature (Oncotype DX) in lymph node-negative/positive, hormone receptor-positive early-stage breast cancer based on Japanese validation study (JBCRG-TR03).
TL;DR: The inclusion of the 21-gene signature in Japan’s social health insurance benefit package for not only LN− diseases but also LN+ diseases is cost-effective and can be justifiable as an efficient use of finite resources for health care.
