ABSTRACT: Background
Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is a recently identified pattern of blood supply to tumor tissue. It has long been considered a functional element in the metastasis and prognosis of malignant tumors. Both Rho GTPase-activating protein 25 (ARHGAP25) and Ras homolog family member A (RhoA) are effective predictors of tumor metastasis. In this study, we examined the expression levels of ARHGAP25 and RhoA and the structure of VM in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). At the same time, we used cytology-related experiments to explore the effect of ARHGAP25 on the migration ability of tumor cells. Furthermore, we analyzed the interaction between the three factors and their association with clinicopathological characteristics and the five-year survival time in patients using statistica
