The marine environment is a reliable source for the discovery of novel treatment options for numerous diseases. Past research efforts toward the discovery of marine-derived anticancer agents have resulted in several commercially available marine-based drugs. The pharmaceutical value of anticancer drugs from marine natural products (MNPs) ranges from US$563 billion to US$5.69 trillion. In this review, we highlight several marine-derived entities with the potential for cancer control and prevention through the inhibition of crucial tumor cell motility and/or migration steps involved in subsequent cancer metastases. This report also covers the major hurdles typically faced by the MNPs research scientific community.
