In the current study, we found that there was no correlation between expression of TM4SF1 and USP10, S100A12, p53, or Ki67 expression in GC, suggesting that TM4SF1 plays a distinct role in GC invasion and metastasis from those of USP10, S100A12, p53, or Ki67, although they all contribute to cancer invasion and metastasis. The gene discussed is TM4SF1; the disease is cancer.
