Targeting c-Met in melanoma: mechanism of resistance and efficacy of novel combinatorial inhibitor therapy.

abstract：AIMS:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent malignancy of the oral cavity resulting in severe morbidity and mortality. To date only few proteins have been suggested as potential biomarkers or targets for this type of cancer. Cancerous inhibitor of PP2A (CIP2A) is a protein expressed in epithelial tis...
