Galectin-3, a key protein in cancer, promotes metastasis through various biological processes. Targeting galectin-3 shows promise for cancer treatment and diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Galectin-3 is a beta-galactoside-binding protein involved in cell growth, adhesion, and apoptosis.
  • Its expression is linked to cancer aggressiveness and metastasis.
  • Galectin-3 interacts with glycoproteins, cell surface molecules, and extracellular matrix proteins.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the involvement of galectin-3 in each step of cancer metastasis.
  • To discuss the clinical significance of galectin-3 in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on galectin-3 and cancer metastasis.
  • Analysis of galectin-3's role in angiogenesis, cell-matrix interaction, and extravasation.

Main Results:
