    Abstract

    When cancer cells move from original site to other parts of body by dissemination throughout blood vessel and lymphatic vessel, it is termed cancer metastasis. Cancer metastasis is complex and three-dimensional(3D) process integrated with various oncogenes, growth factors and interactions with stroma (stromal cells and surrounding ECM)[1]. In this paper, we have focused on the interaction between 3D ECM microenvironment and cancer cells by introducing various types of hydrogel in microfluidic system. Cancer cells showed various morphologies while invading into various types of ECM.
