BACKGROUND: The metastasis accounts for most deaths from breast cancer (BRCA). Understanding the molecular mechanisms of BRCA metastasis is urgently demanded. Flap Endonuclease 1 (FEN1), a pivotal factor in DNA metabolic pathways, contributes to tumor growth and drug resistance, however, little is known about the role of FEN1 in BRCA metastasis. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, FEN1 expression and its clinical correlation in BRCA were investigated using bioinformatics, showing being upregulated in BRCA samples and significant relationships with tumor stage, node metastasis, and prognosis...
