Abstract:
We measured the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) concentration in breast cancer tissue extracts and evaluated its association with survival. The HGF level was found to be the most important factor in survival, even more so than lymph node involvement. HGF may play an important role in the progression of human breast cancer.
