Abstract 1085: A bioinformatics approach to evaluate the involvement of CDH1/E-cadherin in solid tumors and to identify breast cancer biomarkers

Cancer is a complex disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of different cell types among which solid tumors (ST) stand out due to their high incidence and mortality rates. Of many ST, breast cancer (BC) is the 2nd most common cancer worldwide and the most frequent among women (∼1.67 million new cases in 2012).
