Image: Metastasis requires the presence of three cells in direct contact on a blood vessel wall: a tumor cell that produces the protein MENA; a perivascular macrophage (cells that guide tumor cells to blood vessels); and a blood-vessel endothelial cell. The presence of three such cells in contact with each other is called a tumor microenvironment of metastasis, or TMEM, which is depicted within the box in this illustration (Photo courtesy of Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University).

Novel Immunoassay Predicts Risk of Breast Cancer Metastasis

A novel diagnostic test that identifies sites where breast tumors are able to metastasize was used to predict risk of distant metastasis in ER+/HER2− breast cancer independently of IHC4 score and classical pathologic features.   More...
