Features: Invasion and metastasis are one of the most important characteristics of malignant tumors, and also the main reasons for the failure of clinical tumor treatment. This book systematically expounds the basic principles and research progress of invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors, focusing on the latest advancements in the research of oncogenes, adhesion molecules, proteases, growth factors, and angiogenesis related to tumor invasion and metastasis, as well as their molecular mechanisms in the process of tumor invasion and metastasis. The book also introduces the current research status and clinical significance of early micro-metastasis diagnosis in tumors. Additionally, it provides a systematic review and summary of the progress in anti-tumor metastasis therapy, especially the recent research advancements in anti-tumor angiogenesis drug therapy abroad. This book is the first monograph in the field of research on invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors, with novel content that reflects the latest progress in the basic theory, clinical practice, and scientific research of this field. It is suitable for reference by medical workers, medical school students, graduate students, and scholars engaged in tumor-related research.
