## BACKGROUND. Cadherins are the family of functionally related transmembrane glycoproteins responsible for the Ca"-dependent cellkell adhesion mechanism that is crucial for the mutual association of vertebrate cells. Because cell dissociation and acquisition of cell motility occur in cancer invas
The process of cancer invasion and metastasis comprises a complex series of sequential steps. The initial step is the dissociation of cancer cells from the primary tumour through the breakdown of the cell adhesion system which includes integrins, selectins, CD44 and the cadherin families of molecule
