Tumor metastasis is the dominant cause of death in cancer patients. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying tumor metastasis are still elusive. The identi?cation of protein molecules with their expressions correlated to the metastatic process would help to understand the metastatic mechanisms and thus facilitate the development of strategies for the therapeutic interventions and clini- cal management of cancer. Proteomics is a systematic research approach aiming to provide the global chara...

Tumor MetastasisAlthough diagnostic technology and therapeutictreatment have made vast progress during the lastdecades, cancer mortality remains high, accountingfor approximately 25% of the deaths in the developedworld (1). Metastasis is by far the leadin
