Figure 6 Schematic representation of progressive steps from initial tumour formation to establishment of metastasis include (1) tumour growth, angiogenesis and localised invasion; (2) intravasation and survival; and (3) extravasation and formation of distant tumours. For each step some genes promoting these processes and regulated by DNA methylation are indicated. Adapted by Cock-Rada et al[8], 2013. TIMP-2: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2.
