Surviving at a Distance: Organ-Specific Metastasis
Paper cited by one pathway page, indexed on Europe PMC as PubMed record 28741564 and published in Trends in cancer; the citing page links this DOI, which is how the record was matched.
Overview
The clinical manifestation of metastasis in a vital organ is the final stage of cancer progression and the main culprit of cancer-related mortality. Once established, metastasis is devastating, but only a small proportion of the cancer cells that leave a tumor succeed at infiltrating, surviving, and ultimately overtaking a distant organ. The bottlenecks that challenge cancer cells in newly invaded microenvironments are organ-specific and consequently demand distinct mechanisms for metastatic colonization. We review the metastatic traits that allow cancer cells to colonize distinct organ sites.
Indexed on Europe PMC as PubMed record 28741564 (DOI 10.1016/j.trecan.2015.07.009).
