摘要

Models of Breast Cancer Metastasis to Bone: Characterization of a Clinically Relevant Model,te of metastasis of some other cancers, including prostate. Bone metastases in breast cancer are predominantly osteolytic due to the resorption of bone following excessive activation of osteoclasts. This leads to major clinical problems including severe pain, hypercalcemia, bone fractures and nerve-

Comparative Morphometric Study on Bone Remodeling in Human Specimens and in Experimental Models of pathological fracture, spinal compression syndromes and hypercalcemia. Bone destruction is a marked clinical feature and the major source of morbidity associated with bone metastases. Most of these clinical features can be related to structural changes in bone that are caused by effects of the tumor

Metastasis in the Bone Marrow Microenvironment,astasis to the bone marrow. The extensive changes induced by cancer metastasis in bone (either lytic, or more rarely, sclerotic) represent secondary changes induced to fulfill the need of cancer cells for their anti-homeostatic growth. A common biological paradigm — “the seed and the soil” — is used

The Role of Tumor-Associated Macrophages in Metastasis-Associated Osteolysis,umors not only have the potential for metastasis at a relatively early stage of the disease but can also produce metastases many years after adequate local treatment (1, 2). A significant macrophage infiltrate is often found in these metastatic cancers. On the basis that monocytes and macrophages ar

It is characterized by monoclonal immunoglobulin (mIg) in the blood, lytic bone lesions, and monoclonal plasma cells in the BM. These plasma cells are responsible for most symptoms of MM, but considerable work confirms that the MM clone also includes earlier stage B

Patients with lung cancer are more likely to succumb quickly to their disease than those with breast or prostate tumors in whom, relatively, bone metastases are more of a problem.
