As guest editor of this special series of the Annals of Translational Medicine (ATM), I would like to share with the readers at large the contributions from invited authors who provided their unique and expert perspectives on the important and critical topics of this focus series titled “Cancer Metastasis: Molecular signaling and therapeutic options”.
The authors hope that these reviews will provide new and helpful information to readers with expertise in basic, translational and clinical cancer research, with special interest in metastatic cancer.
