Abstract:
Tumor metastasis, the main characteristic and important indication of malignant tumor, is also the primary cause of death for most cancer patients. The tumor metastasis is a multistep process involving various factors, multiple interactions of many genes as well as the microenvironment. To investigate the mechanism of tumor metastasis will help us understand the essences of metastasis process, therefore exploring molecular targets for clinical diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
