| pubmed-article:10931218 | pubmed:abstractText | Reports concerning the expression of cytoplasmic components of the mitogen-activating protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in lung cancer are limited. One of the molecules participating in this pathway is the product of the c-mos proto-oncogene. In vitro investigations, in somatic cells, have shown that c-mos expression has opposing effects on cell cycle progression suggesting that it may represent an important determinant of aberrant cell function. In this study we analysed, by immunohistochemical means, its status in a series of lung carcinomas and correlated the findings with clinicopathological parameters and survival of the patients. | lld:pubmed |
