This cell death process has been termed “anoikis”. When normal epithelial cells or solid tumor cells without metastatic potential detach from the primary site, and then enter into the circulatory system, the anoikis mechanism will be activated. The significance of anoikis is to prevent the shedding cells from growing and implanting into other inappropriate sites. Tumor cells, especially several malignant cells that is prone to transfer to distant sites, have properties of anti-anoikis, which facilitates metastasis as well as invasi
