High MUC2 Expression in Ovarian Cancer Is Inversely Associated with the M1/M2 Ratio of Tumor-Associated Macrophages and Patient Survival Time
Mucin 2 (MUC2) is a mucin molecule aberrantly expressed by ovarian cancer cells. Previous in vitro studies have indicated that MUC2 promotes cancer growth and metastasis through a tumor-associated macrophage (TAM)-dependent mechanism. However, this mechanism has never been linked to clinical oncolog...
