Objective: Lymphatic metastasis is one of the leading causes of malignancy dispersion in various types of cancer. However, few anti-lymphangiogenic drugs have been approved for clinical use to date. Therefore, new therapies to block lymphangiogenesis are

The mechanism of how VEGF-C is regulated to promote lymphatic metastasis of oesophageal cancer is unclear. Here the authors show that nicotine prevents the mRNA decay of VEGF-C mRNA and promotes lymphatic metastasis by downregulating deubiquitinase OTUD3

Cervical squamous cell carcinoma-secreted exosomal miR-221-3p promotes lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis by targeting VASH1 [PDF]
Cancer-secreted exosomal miRNAs are emerging mediators of cancer-stromal cross-talk in the tumor environment. Our previous miRNAs array of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) clinical specimens identified upregulation of miR-221-3p.

Gene signature characteristic of elevated stromal infiltration and activation is associated with increased risk of hematogenous and lymphatic metastasis in serous ovarian cancer [PDF]
The clinical significance of hematogenous and lymphatic metastasis in ovarian cancer has been increasingly addressed, as it plays an imperative role in the formation of both intraperitoneal and distant metastases.

CRIP1 Reshapes the Gastric Cancer Microenvironment to Facilitate Development of Lymphatic Metastasis
Lymphangiogenesis in tumors provides an auxiliary route for cancer cell invasion to drainage lymph nodes, facilitating the development of lymphatic metastasis (LM).

Mechanisms of lymphatic metastasis [PDF]
Malignant tumors release growth factors such as VEGF-C to induce lymphatic vessel expansion (lymphangiogenesis) in primary tumors and in draining sentinel LNs, thereby promoting LN metastasis. Surprising recent evidence suggests that lymphatic vessels do not merely represent passive channels for tumor spread, but that they may actively promote tumor ...
