Cancer cells remain clumped together via a 'velcro' which allows them to adhere to each other. In order for cancer cells to leave a tumor and metastasize, cancer cells must reduce their adhesion and increase their ability to migrate. They can do this by altering the amount, and type of proteins on their surface.
