miR-200c-3p downregulation is associated with EMT and miR-200c-3p overexpression is associated with MET, which may partially explain the seemingly unreasonable observation: the EMT-related expression pattern reflects the metastatic nature of the tumor tissue, but the MET-related expression pattern is associated with poorer survival owing to its role in more advanced metastatic stages. This evidence concerns the gene MET and neoplasm.
