The normally functioning cell has controls which prevent it
proliferating and invading regions of the body from which it is
normally excluded. Under certain conditions, the normal rules
breakdown and cell proliferation and migration, or metastasis,
leads to the formation of tumours. The metastatic behaviour of
malignant tumour cells is responsible for the majority of cancer
deaths. This book deals with the behaviour and biochemistry of
errant cells, a subject that is at the forefront of current reserch
in cellular and molecular biology, providing general and
specialized information on cell adhesion and mobility in the
metastatic process, the behaviour of the cells involved and how
they differ from normal cells. Whilst not intended to be
all-encompassing, this book provides a general background to the
metastatic cell, describing the current status of knowledge about
its genotype and phenotype and discussing aspects of its behaviour
which are thought to be crucial in the metastatic response.
Possible future directions for research and ways in which
metastasis might be controlled are also covered. The book aims to
give senior biological, medical and veterinary students an
understanding of the metastatic cell and is a synthesis of current
research for more advanced workers.
