How do cancer cells spread - and how can we stop them?
Possibly the biggest challenge in cancer treatment is to stop the disease spreading to other parts of the body. Research in Professor Margaret Frame's lab based at the University of Edinburgh is aimed at understanding in detail how cancer cells move around.
Professor Frame is internationally recognised for her groundbreaking research on two proteins involved in this process called Src and FAK. She is now looking at whether drugs that block these proteins could be used early in treatment to stop cancer spreading.
