Gene expression behind breast cancer metastasis reviewed
October 20th, 2005
Gene expression behind breast cancer metastasis reviewed. According to a recent review from the United States, "Organ-specific homing and colonization of cancer cells are important and interesting features of metastasis." "Molecular programs that contribute to this tropism may be elucidated through gene expression profiling with DNA microarrays. Using experimentally derived breast cancer cells that home specifically to bone or to lung, several investigators have concluded that distinct alterations in gene expression underlie metastasis to these sites," explained C.E. Horak and colleagues, National Cancer Institute. "Minn et al....
