Metastatic prostate cancer has a unique predilection for bone that can lead to significant clinical sequelae, such as fracture and cord compression. This tropism for bone yields not only clinical challenges, but also opportunities to understand the tumor biology in bone and to develop relevant therapeutic strategies. The process by which tumor cells migrate to bone, remain dormant, and then colonize and expand is based on complex interactions between prostate cancer tumor cells and the host microenvironment. This review will provide an overview of these interactions as well as therapies targeting osseous metastases in castration-resistant prostate cancer.
转移性前列腺癌对骨骼有独特的偏好,可导致严重的临床后果,如骨折和脊髓压迫。这种对骨骼的趋向性不仅带来了临床挑战,也为了解骨内肿瘤生物学及制定相关治疗策略提供了机会。肿瘤细胞迁移至骨骼、保持休眠状态,然后定植并扩散的过程,基于前列腺癌肿瘤细胞与宿主微环境之间的复杂相互作用。本文综述将概述这些相互作用以及针对去势抵抗性前列腺癌骨转移的治疗方法。
