Bone, as well as liver and lung, is one of the most preferential metastatic target sites for cancers including breast, prostate, and lung cancers and the consequences are always devastating. Like other metastasis, breast cancer bone metastasis consists of several steps from the escape of primary site to the colonization in target site. This review focuses on several key steps including: 1. Invasion and escape from primary tumor site. 2. Target migration toward bone. 3. Specific adhesion and arrest in bone. 4. Establishment of metastasis in bone. The factors involved in this process will provide good targets for therapy.
骨组织与肝、肺一样,是乳腺癌、前列腺癌和肺癌等癌症最易发生转移的靶器官之一,其后果往往是毁灭性的。与其他转移一样,乳腺癌骨转移包括从原发部位逃逸到靶部位定植的几个步骤。本综述重点关注几个关键步骤,包括:1. 原发性肿瘤部位的侵袭和逃逸;2. 向骨骼的靶迁移;3. 骨骼中的特异性黏附和停滞;4. 骨骼转移的建立。该过程中涉及的因素将为治疗提供良好的靶点。
