Metastasis is a multistep process responsible for the vast majority of endocrine cancer deaths. We have previously identified the proto-oncogene PBF to be upregulated in differentiated thyroid cancer, and recently PBF expression has been correlated with distant thyroid cancer metastasis at diagnosis. Further, PBF potently induces breast cancer cell invasion in vitro, and our recent in vivo data demonstrate that colorectal tumours with higher PBF protein expre...
