Correlation between ERK1 and STAT3 expression and chemoresistance in patients with conventional osteosarcoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a highly vascularized tumor entity and the process of angiogenesis is essential for the growth of HCC. Importantly, the pro-angiogenic transcription factors HIF-1alpha and STAT3 have been implicated in HCC progression, thus representing interesting targets for molecu...
