MCQ on Mechanisms of Cancer Cells Invasion
Q) Which is not a mechanism of cancer cells invasion?
✅ Answer: D. Extracellular matrix dissolution is due to physical factors

🔍 Explanation:
Cancer cells secrete collagenases and proteases that chemically dissolve extracellular boundaries to facilitate invasion.
The three main mechanisms by which cancer cells invade are:
- **Dissolution of Extracellular Matrix**: Cancer cells secrete enzymes like matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that break down the extracellular matrix, allowing for tissue penetration.
- **Acquisition of Mobility**: Cancer cells undergo changes in their adhesion properties and cytoskeleton, which allows them to move through tissues.
- **Rise in Interstitial Pressure**: Although this may affect fluid dynamics, it is a consequence of tumor growth, not a direct invasion mechanism.

🧠 Key Point: The dissolution of the extracellular matrix is a chemical process, not due to physical factors like pressure.
