Also, it has been shown that radixin, as a member of the ERM (ezrin/radixin/moesin) protein family, along with moesin and ezrin, was reduced in lung adenocarcinoma, including early‐stage bronchioloalveolar carcinoma31 An intriguing implication of our finding suggests that ezrin may function as tumor suppressors in breast cancer, besides lung adenocarcinoma oncogenesis, and have a distinct function in tumor cell invasion. This evidence concerns the gene ETV5 and breast cancer.
