Özet

Background: Vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein ( VASP) is associated with focal adhesions and is thought to have an important role in actin filament assembly and cell motility. We hypothesise that an increase in the expression of VASP is involved in the progression and invasion of lung adenocarcinomas in parallel to tumour progression. A study was undertaken to analyse VASP expression in normal lung tissue and lung adenocarcinomas.
