Summary

Most of the pharmaceuticals in clinical practice today for treatment of breast and other cancers are cytotoxic or cytostatic inhibitors of tumor growth. While this type of drug has found its place, along with surgery and radiotherapy, in treatment of disease, the breast cancer death rate has not decreased. This appears to be the result of rising incidence, resistance to therapy, and metastasis of the disease. Since distant metastasis (usually indicated by lymph node involvement) of breast cancer is related only indirectly to tumor size, it would appear that a concerted effort should be made to discover drugs which directly interfere with this complex process. Metastasis appears to depend upon tumor cell motility, dedifferen-tiation, local invasion, and angiogenesis. Significant progress has been recently made in the creation of new animal models of metastasis and in identifying several new drugs which may be suitable for clinical inhibition of this process. This article reviews current findings on anti-invasion/metastasis drugs with a focus on breast cancer.
