Investigating the Role of Urokinase in Cancer Metastasis: A Review

2023-02-27

Abstract excerpt

The greatest cause of cancer-related mortality is cancer metastasis, which is the spread of cancer cells from the original tumour to distant areas. Urokinase (uPA) is one of the important proteases involved in this process. By encouraging cell migration, invasion, and angiogenesis, uPA plays a critical part in the spread of cancer. Numerous cancers have an overexpressed uPA system, which is linked to a poor progno...
