Sigmoid adenocarcinoma with metastases to the kidney: Report of a rare case and review of the literature.

abstract：:The underlying molecular mechanisms of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) development have not yet been clearly identified. The present study revealed that thrombospondin 2 (THBS2) was downregulated in pNET tissues and cells. Forced expression of THBS2 inhibited the proliferation and migration of pNET cells in vit...
