Cancer Metastasis: Building a Framework

TL;DR: Understanding of the origins and nature of cancer metastasis and the selection of traits that are advantageous to cancer cells is promoted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stromal Fibroblasts Present in Invasive Human Breast Carcinomas Promote Tumor Growth and Angiogenesis through Elevated SDF-1/CXCL12 Secretion

TL;DR: Using a coimplantation tumor xenograft model, it is demonstrated that carcinoma-associated fibroblasts extracted from human breast carcinomas promote the growth of admixed breast carcinoma cells significantly more than do normal mammaries derived from the same patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

TGFβ in Cancer

TL;DR: The mechanistic basis and clinical relevance of TGFbeta's role in cancer is becoming increasingly clear, paving the way for a better understanding of the complexity and therapeutic potential of this pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stromal fibroblasts in cancer initiation and progression

TL;DR: It is revealed that fibroblasts have a more profound influence on the development and progression of carcinomas than was previously appreciated and this has important therapeutic implications.
