Abstract:
Iron metabolism is involved in cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, and angiogenesis.Ferritin,ferritin receptor,transferrin, and transferrin receptor are often overexpressed in cancers. Not only iron deprivation can inhibit the growth of cancers,but also may suppress matrix metalloproteinases-related metastasis.
