[Molecular events involved in the metastatic process].
The occurrence of metastasis is probably the least characterised process in tumour progression. It is difficult to study, due to the limited access to metastatic tissues, to the multiple steps involved and the long time required to observe metastasis growth, even in model systems. Our understanding of metastatic processes has been changed in recent years by a number of observations and the development of new concepts.
