CCN2 and neoplasm: Our goals included the following: i) describing the expression pattern of the Hippo transducers TAZ/YAP, ii) providing hints on their functional status by assessing CTGF as a readout for their activation, iii) providing information on their association with histological and molecular features (e.g. histotype, tumor grade, nodal status, hormone receptors, Ki-67), and iv) analyzing the impact of their expression on overall survival.
