Abstract:
Pathogenetic aspects of individualization of prognosis and prevention of metastatic spreading have been studied for many years. The paper presents the results obtained in the course of the study. Prognostic importance of the indices of external respiration, functional activity of macrophages and natural killers, growth-modifying properties of the blood serum and the angiogenic factor content in it is substantiated. The methods of individual antimetastatic therapy with the application of neurotropic drugs and diet restriction as well as with the use of tests of the metastatic cells' sensitivity to different therapeutic influences are suggested.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
