In this study, we have established a new mouse model to mimic the process of tumor metastasis in breast cancer patients." "TM40D-MB mouse mammary tumor cells were transplanted to the mammary glands of syngeneic mice. Mammary tumors developed in the glands in situ and were metastatic to bone with over 53% efficiency.
