Up-regulation of hepatoma-derived growth factor facilitates tumor progression in malignant melanoma [corrected].

Cutaneous malignant melanoma is the fastest increasing malignancy in humans. Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) is a novel growth factor identified from human hepatoma cell line. HDGF overexpression is correlated with poor prognosis in various types of cancer including melanoma. However, the unde...
