Roles of alternative splicing in tumorigenesis. The diagram illustrates different hallmarks of cancer along with examples of alternative splicing events that contribute to the transformation of normal cells into tumor cells mainly via proliferation and apoptosis, invasion and metastasis, angiogenesis and metabolism. Arrows up and down indicate the alternative isoforms contributing the most and the least to each process.
