title: Role of thrombomodulin in cancer biology.
abstract: Effects of malignancy on haemostasis have long been recognized. The role of coagulation factors, anticoagulants and fibrinolytic agents in cancer biology have emerged more recently. Thrombomodulin is a naturally occurring anticoagulant, expressed by numerous epithelial and lymphovascular tumour cells. It may have a role in tumour metastasis.
