EIF5A2 and gastric cancer: MTA1, as an candidate metastasis-associated gene, have been demonstrated to play the critical role in gastric cancer cell aggressiveness.[27] Overexpression of MTA1 is significantly associated with poor prognosis in pN0 GC patients.[30] The current study showed that EIF5A2 expression was positively correlated with MTA1 expression in human GC tissues.
