Abstract
Metastasis is the leading reason for the resultant mortality of patients with cancer. The past few decades have witnessed remarkable progress in understanding the molecular and cellular basis of this lethal process in cancer. The current article summarizes some of the key progress in this area and discusses the role of cell junctions, cell adhesions, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, angio and lymphangiogenesis and organ specific metastasis.
