Mediation of various signalling pathways by MUC1 results in the occurrence basic processes associated with cancer (e.g., increase in cell proliferation, migration/invasion, survival; inhibition of apoptosis), as well as the whole tumour (e.g., increase in tumour growth; tumour metastasis, enabled by EMT, etc.)(Figure 1). This evidence concerns the gene MUC1 and neoplasm.
