Non-toxic Compounds that Inhibit the Formation and Spreading of Tumors
- Early-stage
- In vitro data available
The presence of the PNC positively correlates with metastatic capacity, making it a potential marker for cancer development and prognosis. These compounds could also serve as useful tools to elucidate the biology driving the formation and maintenance of the PNC, and unravel its association with metastasis.
- Use in the therapeutic intervention of metastasis in cancer
- Use as tools to elucidate the biology of the PNC
- No existing FDA-approved treatment for the clinical management of metastasis
- Target is specific to metastatic tumors
- Compounds are not toxic
- Broadly acting across all metastatic cancers
