Cancer Metastasis Put Under the Microscope
The process of metastasis, in which cancer cells migrate to distant organs from the primary tumor region, is the key pathological event responsible for 90% of all of the cancer-related deaths. The critical early steps of the metastatic cascade of events, namely...
