Abstract:
NGX6 is a recently discovered tumor-suppressor gene,which can inhibit tumor invasion and metastasis via suppressing tumor angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis.The expression of NGX6 gene has nega-tive correlation with many tumors,such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma,lung cancer,colon cancer and so on. Therefore,the measurement of NGX6′s level has a great influence on the prognosis of patients with tumor.
