Abstract:
Activation of HGF/Met has been complicated in tumorigenesis, invasion and metastasis of various tumors. We summarize current knowledge on their association with invasion of thyroid carcinoma. By discussing the expression of Met and its possible mechanism and analyzing the activation of Met with tumor motility, angiogenesis and inflammatory reaction, we conclude that the research of the possible role of HGF/Met in thyroid carcinoma will advance knowledge on the diagnosis and management of this disease,as well as tumor invasion.
