Hallmark: activating invasion and metastasis

Cancer cells detach, invade, travel, and colonise other organs, the process responsible for most cancer deaths.

EMT programmes, matrix degradation, intravasation, dormancy, and colonisation. No approved drug targets metastasis directly; adjuvant therapy, MRD monitoring, and metastasis-directed radiotherapy are the clinical tools.
