Abstract
The Ras and Rho GTPases contribute to the initiation and progression of cancer by subverting the normal regulation of specific intracellular signalling pathways. As a result, Ras and Rho play significant roles in the development of numerous aspects of the malignant phenotype by promoting cell cycle progression, resistance to apoptotic stimuli, neo-vascularisation and tumour cell motility, invasiveness and metastasis. With these GTPases contributing at so many levels, they are appealing targets for the development of cancer chemotherapeutic agents.Entities:
