Acceptance of a 5-mm distal bowel resection margin for rectal cancer: is it safe?
A distal margin of ≤ 5 mm did not compromise oncological safety in patients undergoing preoperative radiation for an advanced rectal cancer.
17beta-Estradiol increased Snail expression in both ER alpha-negative ES-2 cells and ER alpha-positive SKOV3 cells independent of the existence of ER alpha. The increase of MMP-2 expression in ES-2 and SKOV3 cells and decrease of E-cadherin expression in SKOV3 cells induced by E2 were associated with up-regulation of Snail.
