Gastrointestinal cancers (Wu et al., 2009) such as gastric carcinoma show loss of lamin expression, whereas prostate (Kong et al., 2012; Khan et al., 2018) and breast cancers (Zhang and Lv, 2017) show both characteristics, and colorectal cancer (Willis et al., 2008) reveals different patterns of lamin expression.
