“…In several human carcinomas, particularly in more advanced stages, a reduced CAR presence was found, partially associated with loss of tumour differentiation, increased infiltration, and poor prognosis (Sachs et al, 2002;Matsumoto et al, 2005;Korn et al, 2006;Buscarini et al, 2007;Okegawa et al, 2007;Anders et al, 2009). On the basis of data from studies in cell lines, it has been speculated that loss of CAR promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells (Okegawa et al, 2000(Okegawa et al, , 2001Runnebaum, 2003, 2004;Huang et al, 2005;Wang et al, 2005).…”
