TM4SF1 and ovarian carcinoma: The level of TM4SF1 protein expression also increased with an increase in the FIGO stage of epithelial ovarian cancer and a reduction in the differentiation level, indicating that the expression of TM4SF1 increased with abnormal hyperplasia and malignant transformation of ovarian epithelial cells and suggesting that TM4SF1 might participate in the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer.
