Abstract
Thrombospondins (TSPs) are recognized as important glycoproteins that regulate a wide variety of cell functions and interactions. TSPs in malignant tumors can both enhance and inhibit tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis, depending on cell type, stromal interactions, and microenvironment. These proteins are potential targets for anticancer therapy.Keywords
