In Fig. 4 and Additional file 2: Figure S2 we can see the spread of vimentin-positive cancer tissue in ovarian sections of women with serous ovarian cancer: earlier spread (Fig. 4a-d and Additional file 2: Figure S2a-d) and later spread (Fig. 4e-h and Additional file 2: Figure S2e-h) of cancer tissue which was positively stained for vimentin. Here, VIM is linked to cancer.
