Abstract:

Lumican is a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan family,which is involved in cell processes related to tumorigenesis and development,such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition,cell proliferation,migration,invasion and adhesion. The expression of Lumican in different tumors is positively or negatively correlated with tumor progression,and can be used as a reference for tumor prognosis and efficacy evaluation. Further study of the correlation and potential mechanism between Lumican and tumor therapy resistance can provide new ideas for predicting clinical therapeutic efficacy.

Key words: Neoplasms, Lumican, Therapy resistance
