Abstract
Recent advances in understanding the complex biology of the microenvironment that underlies tumor invasion and migration have revealed novel and promising therapeutic targets. Pharmacological blockade of intra- and extracellular signaling events that regulate migration and survival of multiple cell types may disrupt the host-tumor conspiracy that allows escape from normal developmental regulation.
