Expression of a membrane protein in peripheral tissue linked to cancer: A novel tumour marker

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine, in collaboration with the Department of Pathology at the Medical School of the Georg August University in Gottingen and the National Institute for Cancer in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, have found a strong correlation of high expression of Eag1 potassium channels with multiple malignant tumour types. Their results have been published in two research articles published back-to-back in the 5th October 2006 issue of Molecular Cancer. This work on the innovative tumour marker, Eag1, opens the door to the development of novel strategies to diagnose and treat cancer and has high potential for clinical application.
