7 Vimentin and RAD51 expression also showed a trend to positively correlate, in line with the fact that RAD51 is coupled with EMT in breast and prostate cancer. 7 Vice versa, EMT has been reported to promote DDRs, triggering a vicious cycle of invasiveness and chemoresistance mechanisms. 7 Further evidence for different phenotypes of γH2AX + and 53BP1 + CTCs was provided by a negative correlation between 53BP1‐ and Vimentin‐positivities.
