Key Event Description
Drug resistance is involved in EMT, which is an important phenomenon exhibiting the feature similar to cancer stem cells (CSCs) (Du & Shim, 2016).
EMT is involved in metastasis and therapy resistance (Smith & Bhowmick, 2016).
Diffuse-type gastric cancer which has a poor prognosis may be related to EMT (Tanabe, Aoyagi, Yokozaki, & Sasaki, 2014).
How It Is Measured or Detected
Cancer malignancy and EMT can be detected with biomarkers (Zeisberg & Neilson, 2009).
EMT can be detected as the increase level of the transcription factors, Zeb, Twist and Snail, related to the activation of EMT-related genes.
Domain of Applicability
Drug resistance occurs in Homo sapiens (Du & Shim, 2016).
Regulatory Significance of the Adverse Outcome
Cancer resistance is very important in the cancer treatment, since the cancer metastasis and recurrence are one of the main obstacles to treat cancer.
