    Metastasis is the primary cause of cancer-related death, with the dissemination and colonization of primary tumor cells at the metastatic site facilitated by various molecules and complex pathways. Understanding the biological mechanisms underlying the metastatic process is critical for the development of effective interventions. Several epigenetic modifications have been identified that play critical roles in regulating cancer metastasis. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of recent advances in understanding the role of epigenetic modifiers, including histone modifications, DNA methylation, non-coding RNAs, enhancer reprogramming, chromatin accessibility, and N6-methyladenosine, in metastasis-associated processes, such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cancer cell migration, and invasion. In particular, this review provides a detailed and in-depth description of the role of crosstalk between epigenetic regulators in tumor metastasis. Additionally, we explored the potential and limitations of epigenetics-related target molecules in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cancer metastasis.
