The formation of metastases is the main cause of cancer-related mortality Ghent University
The formation of metastases is the main cause of cancer-related mortality (90%). Strikingly, no effective anti-metastatic therapy is available in the clinic yet. N-Cadherin (NCad) is a protein that is abnormally active in metastatic tumors and helps them spread. The current project aims at developing molecules which can block NCad in patients.
