Huang and colleagues reported that THBS1 is upregulated by FGF7/FGFR2 growth factors and promotes and knockdown of THBS1 decreased cell invasion and migration (Huang et al., 2017).In this study, the results of Kaplan–Meier plotter indicate that overexpression of THBS1 is not an unfavorable prognostic factor for overall survival in GC patients. Here, FGF7 is linked to gastric cancer.
