What Are the Implications of EMT in Cancer Prognosis?
The activation of EMT in tumors is often associated with a poor prognosis. EMT markers correlate with increased tumor aggressiveness, resistance to conventional therapies, and higher rates of recurrence. Therefore, assessing EMT status in cancer patients can provide valuable prognostic information and guide therapeutic decisions. Biomarkers of EMT are being developed to help identify patients at higher risk of metastasis and tailor treatment accordingly.
