there are a variety of growth factors involved
integrins and laminins attach cells to the extracellular matrix
a lot of the invasion, metastasis, and vessel growth associated with malignancy is really just a perversion of this entire process; Darwinian selection for cancer cells leads to cancer cells hijacking these same signaling pathways to carry out invasion and metastasis
you can stop certain cancer cells from invading by taking away these signals
