Metastatic growth is a selective, non‐random process, which in the case of colorectal
cancer, frequently occurs in the liver and is the major cause of cancer related death in these …

Metastatic spreading is a dreadful complication of neoplastic diseases that is responsible for
most deaths due to cancer. It consists in the formation of secondary neoplasms from cancer …

The importance of Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (T antigen)-galectin-3 interactions in
adhesion of human breast carcinoma cells to the endothelium under conditions of flow was …

The invasive properties of cancer cells depend on their intrinsic motile potential and on their

It has been postulated that gastroesophageal reflux plays a role in the etiology of head and
neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) and contributes to complications after surgery or …

Colorectal cancer hepatic metastases represent the final stage of a multi-step biological
process. This process starts with a series of mutations in colonic epithelial cells, continues …

To form clinically evident metastases-the main cause of death in cancer patients-, tumor
cells (TC) must complete a highly complex series of steps called the metastatic cascade …

Background & Aims: Few circulating tumor cells implant or cause metastasis. We
