Description
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women in the United States and worldwide1. The
clinical symptoms and outcomes of breast cancer depend largely on whether it is confined to the breast or has
metastasized to adjacent or distant parts of the body. Unfortunately, the acquisition of metastases leads to
clinically incurable disease and accounts for approximately 90% of cancer deaths. Thus, knowledge of the
biology of breast cancer metastasis is critically needed to develop novel strategies and improve existing
therapies for combating this deadly disease.
