✦ Synopsis

Metastasis is the cascade of events involved in the transition of a malignancy from a localized tumor to the establishment of a distant foci. In this review we define the known stages and the factors involved. The multiplicity of steps involved allows many opportunities for therapeutic intervention. Current research has focused on interruption of a step or a series of steps to limit the spread of cancer. With emphasis on the urologic malignancies, we outline the research thus far accomplished in the field of metastasis.

## Abstract MicroRNAs have emerged as a novel class of noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post‐translational level in almost every biological event. A large body of evidence indicates that microRNAs regulate the expression of different genes that play an important role in cancer ce

## Abstract Proteolytic cleavage of extracellular matrix (ECM) is a critical regulator of many physiological and pathological events. It affects fundamental processes such as cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis and migration. Most proteases are produced as inactive proenzymes that undergo prote
