Abstract
Invasion and subsequent establishment of distant metastasis is the most life threatening consequence for patients with cancer. Last decade has seen a major expansion in our knowledge and the understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms in tumour invasion and metastasis. Such understanding may also lead to the exploration of anti invasion/metastasis strategies. Some agents have already shown early promise in combating these processes. This article summarises progress in the anti-invasion and metastasis research and treatment.
