## Abstract Purine and pyrimidine nucleoside analogs (NAs) are antimetabolites commonly used in cancer therapy. Administered as prodrugs, NAs permeate the mambrane using specialized transporters. Following phosphorylation, they interfere with multiple cellular pocessess inducing cytotoxicity. Toxic
## Abstract The aim of the present review is to detail and analyze the pros and cons of __in vitro__ tests available to quantify the antiβmigratory effects of antiβcancer drugs for their eventual use in combating the dispersal of tumor cells, a clinical need which currently remains unsatisfied. We
