BACKGROUND. Tissue factor (TF), a cell surface receptor of factor VIIIVIIa, was initially recognized as an initiator of the extrinsic coagulation pathway. TF has recently been found to be expressed highly in certain types of malignant tumors. In addition, TF belongs to the interferon receptor family

Expression of the telomerase catalytic sub-unit (htert) constitutes a key step in the development of human cancer. Although htert regulation is still unclear, several studies suggest that c-myc may activate its expression. Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies among men in Western c
## Abstract Tissue factor (TF), a transmembrane glycoprotein responsible for initiating the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation plays a key role in cancer growth, metastasis and angiogenesis. Various studies have demonstrated the prognostic potential of TF expression in several cancers. However,
Transforming growth factor-6 (TGF-p) receptors constitute a family of transmembrane proteins that bind TGF-P ligands. In this study we assessed the growth responsiveness to TGF-P I in pancreatic cancer cell lines and characterized the levels of expression of TGF-f3 receptors in these cell lines and
