Leader Cells: Invade and Evade—The Frontline of Cancer Progression

Abstract excerpt

Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality; however, a complete understanding of the molecular programs driving the metastatic cascade is lacking. Metastasis is dependent on collective invasion-a developmental process exploited by many epithelial cancers to establish secondary tumours and promote widespread disease. The key drivers of collective invasion are "Leader Cells", a functionally...
