Role of intracellular transport, sorting and release of membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) in tumor cell invasion and metastatic dissemination
2005-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The primary cause of death in cancer patients is the development of metastatic secondary tumours in distal organs. This is a complex process during which metastatic tumour cells need to overcome the natural barriers impeding access to vascular or lymphatic pathways: importantly they also need to alter the extracellular environment to allow ectopic cancer growth in distant locations.
