Abstract excerpt
The genome of cancer cells accumulates numerous genetic and epigenetic somatic alterations ultimately conferring capabilities for unrestrained growth, invasion of local tissues, migration, and colonization of distant organs. Many of these new capabilities require the disruption of the cell-to-cell interactions between the cancer cell and its microenvironment. These interactions are mediated, among other factors,...
