ABSTRACT
Cancer metastasis is multi-step process that requires cancer cells to jump through many hoops.The low-molecule-weight beparin (LMWH) has been reported effective for the treatment of metastasis to some extent, the mechanisms are proposed as anticoagulation, inhibition of heparanase, selectins, adhesion, angiogenesis mediated by the tumor cells, and the effects on cell cycle and apoptosis.
