- FIGURE 7-3. The metastatic phenotype. To produce metastases, tumor
- cells must complete every step in the process. If they fail to
- complete one or more steps, the cells are eliminated. For example, a
- cell that can induce angiogenesis but is not motile-invasive will not
- produce a metastasis. The prediction of metastatic potential therefore
- requires a multiparametric analysis.
