The Chick Embryo Metastasis Model
The growth and dissemination of malignant tumors continues to have a devastating impact on people throughout the United States and the rest of the world. In fact, it is estimated that well over a half a million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed per year (1 ). The most commonly used clinical approaches to treat cancer include surgical removal of the primary tumor, chemotherapy, and radiation, all of which have varying degrees of success. Importantly, a major obstacle contributing to the failure of treatment in many cases involves the metastatic dissemination of tumor cells from the primary tumor mass to distant sites. While some progress has been achieved in understanding the complex biochemical and molecular mechanisms regulating tumor invasion, much remains to be learned.
