Carcinoma cells within primary tumors activate a previously latent cell-biological program termed the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which enables them to acquire many of the attributes of the cells associated with high-grade malignancy, including motility, invasiveness, an ability to disseminate, and a heightened resistance to various forms of therapy.
