In original contributions that review each author's own work, leaders in their fields cover some of the areas of involvement of cell adhesion molecules likely to play a part in cancer an area that holds clues to much of what is the most important aspect of neoplastic behavior, i.e., the ability to invade and metastasize. Among the topics in nine papers are adhesion mechanisms in liver metastasis formation; desmosomes and cancer; integrins in tumor development and spread; adherens junction proteins in tumor progression; and the role of ICAM expression in immunity and disease.
