Background. Cathepsin D is a lysosomal protease overexpressed and abnormally secreted in most breast cancer cells. Several retrospective clinical studies have shown that cathepsin D is an independent prognostic factor in breast cancer that is associated with a higher risk of recurrence and a shorter
CD44 is a family of cell surface transmembrane glycoproteins members which differ in the extracellular part by sequences derived by alternative splicing of 10 variant exons (v1-v10). CD44 proteins containing such variant sequences have been implicated in tumor metastasis formation. Here, we have eva
