Galectin-1 Overexpression Activates the FAK/PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway and Is Correlated with Upper Urinary Urothelial Carcinoma Progression and Survival

Galectin-1 (GAL1) is a β-galactoside-binding protein involved in multiple aspects of tumorigenesis.However, the biological role of GAL1 in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) has not been entirely understood.Herein, we investigated the oncological effects of GAL1 expression in tumor specimens and identified related gene alterations through
