Stereotactic 125iodine brachytherapy for the treatment of singular brain metastases: closing a gap?

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The interactions of CD44 with hyaluronan are thought to be crucial for tumor cell attachment to the extracellular matrix, migration, and invasion. For migration to occur, however, the interactions between hyaluronan and cell surface receptors need to be transient. Hyaluronidases may facilitate the degradation...
