TGFBI modulates tumour hypoxia and promotes breast cancer metastasis

Fico, Flavia ; Santamaria‐Martínez, Albert

In: Molecular Oncology, 2020, vol. 14, no. 12, p. 3198–3210

Breast cancer metastasis is a complex process that depends not only on intrinsic characteristics of metastatic stem cells, but also on the particular microenvironment that supports their growth and modulates the plasticity of the system. In search for microenvironmental factors supporting cancer stem cell (CSC) growth and tumour progression to metastasis, we here investigated the role of the...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancer metastasis through the lymphatic syste

Karlsson, Mikael C. ; Gonzalez, Santiago F. ; Welin, Josefin ; Fuxe, Jonas

In: Molecular oncology, 2017, vol. 11, p. 781–791

It was already in the 18th century when the French surgeon LeDran first noted that breast cancer patients with spread of tumor cells to their axillary lymph nodes had a drastically worse prognosis than patients without spread (LeDran et al., ). Since then, metastatic spread of cancer cells to regional lymph nodes has been established as the most important prognostic factor in many types of...
