Abstract:
In the recent years,our knowledge on cancer and metastasis has been renewed,and therefore new thoughts are needed for the study of cancer metastasis.Based on the fact that cancer is a systemic and dynamic disease which is caused by multiple factors,involves various genes,and has multiple stages,more studies should be conducted in the following aspects:(1) intervention of cancer metastasis;(2) systemic intervention focusing on the nervous system,immune status,endocrine,and metabolism;(3) studies on improving residual cancer and microenvironment;(4) studies on multimodality therapy,especially the combination of eradication and modification;(5) dynamic studies on cancer metastasis,especially the intervention leading to increased metastatic potential after tumor eradication.
