Metastasis is the major cause of failure in cancer therapy. Recent studies of the molecular cell biology of the metastatic process have provided new insights into the mechanisms of cell-cell adhesion, cell-substrate adhesion and cell motility that underly invasion by tumour cells. In this review, Van Roy and Mareel discuss the role of proteins with invasion-promoting and invasion-suppressing functions in metastasis.
