   Abstract : Cancer metastasis is a complex process that involves an elaborate interplay between malignant cells and various host cellular and molecular components. The metastatic cascade consists of several discrete but non-separable steps, including: 1) malignant transformation of cells; 2) intravasation and dissemination of tumor cells into the circulation or lymphatic system; 3) transport of malignant cells to distal organs and tissues; 4) adherence of tumor cells to distal sites; 5) formation of the initial metastatic niches, and 6) angiogenesis-dependent re-growth of metastatic foci to clinically detectable tumors.
