EMT is found in epithelia originated tumors. It is not usually seen in sarcomas, osteosarcomas and hematological malignancies.

HI,

Tumors of epithelial origin regardless of site of origin demonstrate the EMT and MET transitions during metastasis

Steve

There are three types of. EMT.... Type I Occurs naturally during embryogenesis, Type II during fibrosis and Type III during cancer. Don't know if these three are exclusive of each other!
