The function of WWOX in the suppression of cancerogenesis has been confirmed previously in cancers of hormone-related tissues, including breast, ovary and prostate [9, 11, 17, 23, 35], but also in cancers from gastrointestinal tract, such as gastric [10], oesophageal [36], pancreatic [14] and liver tissue [37]. Here, WWOX is linked to cancer.
