Overexpression of Metastasis-Associated Protein 1 is Significantly Correlated with Tumor Angiogenesis and Poor Survival in Patients with Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

摘要

Background The aims of this work are to detect the expression levels of metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to investigate the relationship of MTA1 protein with clinicopathologic factors, tumor angiogenesis, and prognosis.
