Abstract

Metastases are the principal cause of death in patients with cancer. Recent advances bring hope that it will be possible to identify the molecules and processes involved in metastasis, and this new knowledge could lead to effective methods of preventing and treating metastases. This review describes the properties of cells that enable them to surmount physical boundaries, disseminate, and colonize a distant organ.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
