Mucinous colorectal cancer often presents at an advanced stage. We have previously observed that mucin production by human colon-cancer cells correlates with their ability to colonize the liver in experimental animal models. The present study was undertaken in order to further elucidate the mechanisms by which production of mucin by colon-cancer cells affects metastasis. Cell lines showing high mucin production...
