Consistent with an important role of Foxm1 in cell cycle progression, increased expression of Foxm1 was found in human lung adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas, prostate adenocarcinomas, basal cell carcinomas, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas, anaplastic astrocytomas and glioblastomas, infiltrating ductal breast carcinomas, as well as in many other solid tumors (reviewed in [10], [12], [13], [14]). This evidence concerns the gene FOXM1 and anaplastic astrocytoma.
