摘要:: Cancer is a genetic disease occurring through a multi-step process. Many important genes responsible for the genesis of various cancers have been discovered, their mutations precisely identified and the pathways through which they act characterized. One question that remains unanswered is whether the development of new, more specific therapeutic agents is the best way to minimize cancer morbidity and mortality in the long-term. Metastasis is the relentless pursuit of cancer to escape its primary site and colonize distant organs. Phenotypic changes during cancer progression reflect the sequential accumulation of genetic alterations, which endow cancer cells with the ability to undergo their own divergent evolution and create distinct metastatic species. In order to understand this process, it is crucial to identify genes whose alterations accumulate during cancer progression and correlate with metastatic phenotypes of cancer cells.
