Abstract: NGX6 is a recently discovered tumorsuppressor gene, which can inhibit tumor invasion and metastasis via suppressing tumor angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. The expression of NGX6 gene has negative correlation with many tumors, such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma, lung cancer, colon cancer and so on. Therefore, the measurement of NGX6′s level has a great influence on the prognosis of patients with tumor.

Key words: Neoplasms, Neoplasm metastasis, Nasopharyngeal carcinomaassociated gene 6
