In pancreatic cancer, the expression of S100A6 appears to correlate with aggressive disease in that high levels of tumour S100A6 are associated with poorer outcome (Vimalachandran et al, 2005), whereas pancreatic cancer cells depleted of S100A6 are less invasive (Ohuchida et al, 2005). The gene discussed is S100A6; the disease is neoplasm.
