Summary
The protein “RECK” is known to have a controlling effect on cancers by reducing growth, invasion, and blood supply. RECK is present in normal tissues but in bone and soft-tissue tumours (sarcomas), the protein is reduced. This study aims to; correlate RECK levels in sarcoma with patient survival, use gene technology to increase RECK levels in sarcoma cells, and observe the effects on sarcoma invasion and metastasis.
