Though second-hand smoke has been weakly associated with primary lung cancer indogs, the cause and course of this cancer may be different than its human counterpart. In addition, the life-limiting complication o
However, the breast cancer cells also secrete various factors such as EGFR, COX2, MMP-1 and MMP-2 as well as it induces the expression of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), E-selectin and MMP-9 in lung endothelial cells that facilitate the vascular hyperpermeability thereby fostering the ...
