Tumor Self-Seeding: Bidirectional Flow of Tumor Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Circulating tumor cells are responsible for seeding metastatic growth at distant sites. Kim et al. (2009) now discover that circulating tumor cells can reinfiltrate tumors at their primary organs and promote tumor progression.

Spinal Seeding of Cerebellar Pilocytic Astrocytoma and Spontaneous Regression of Tumor: a Case Report
Cerebellar pilocytic Astrocytoma is a benign tumor, acounts for 80% of all cerebellar Astrocytoma, and has a relatively good prognosis. This tumor usually presents with Ataxia and in the case of hydrocephaly with raised intracranial pressure signs such as headeach, and vomiting. Treatment of this tumor is complete resection and if hydrocephally is present V.P. shunt should be inserted. In the c...
متن کاملCase Report: Iatrogenic Seeding of Tumor Cells in Thigh Soft Tissue Upon Surgical Removal of Intracranial Meningioma
Introduction: Meningioma is a benign and slowly-growing tumor that is responsible for 20% of brain neoplasms. It can be accompanied by some genetic disorders such as neurofibromatosis type 2 and is more common among women. As a space occupying lesion, it produces a wide range of signs and symptoms by compressing the adjacent and underlying tissues in the brain. Trauma and vi...
متن کاملTumor Self-Seeding by Circulating Cancer Cells
Cancer cells that leave the primary tumor can seed metastases in distant organs, and it is thought that this is a unidirectional process. Here we show that circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can also colonize their tumors of origin, in a process that we call "tumor self-seeding." Self-seeding of breast cancer, colon cancer, and melanoma tumors in mice is preferentially mediated by aggressive CTCs, ...

Cancer progression involves the seeding ofmalignant cells in circulation and the colonization of distant organs. However, circulating neoplastic cells can also reinfiltrate the tumor of origin. This process, called "tumor-self seeding," can selectmore aggressive cells thatmay contribute to cancer progression. Here, usingmousemammary adenocarcinoma models, we observed that both tumor self-seedin...
