Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer mortality. Extravasation of cancer cells is a critical step of metastasis. We report a novel proof-of-concept study that investigated whether non-toxic blood-soluble chemical agents capable of rheological modification of the near-vessel-wall blood flow can reduce extravasation of tumor cells and subsequent development of metastasis. Using an experimenta...

a 49 year old woman diagnosed as a cervical cancer patient, after receiving appropriate treatment experienced metastasis in her abdominopelvic cavity. after aggressive management, she was well for a while. however, she developed to a poor condition consisting of urologic, gastroenterological, hematologic and neurologic problems just in a short time. in the course of hospital she presented one s...

Acquired cystic renal disease (A.C.R.D.) is a risk factor for the development of renal carcinoma in the patient's own kidney after renal transplant (R.T.), development of a primitive tumor in the renal graft is infrequent, but the presence of metastasis of an epithelial tumor is very rare. This is the second case reported in the literature of metastasis of an epithelial tumor in the renal graft...

Metastasis is a multistep process, which refers to the ability to leave a primary tumor through circulation toward the distant tissue and form a secondary tumor. Bone is a common site of metastasis, in which osteolytic and osteoblastic metastasis are observed. Signaling pathways, chemokines, growth factors, adhesion molecules, and cellular interactions as well as miRNAs have been known to play ...

background: there has been increasing trend towards surgical treatment of metastases across different cancer types, including breast cancer, in the recent decade. single metastasis of breast cancer to sternum is a rare situation. we present a case of sternectomy for metastasis from breast cancer. case presentation: a 58-year-old woman with a history of modified radical mastectomy for breast can...

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is very rare tumor of dermis layer of skin with the incidence of only 1 case per million per year. DFSP rarely leads to a metastasis (Less than 5% have metastasis), but DFSP can recur locally. We publish a rare case of a recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and its management with radical excision and interval skin grafting. 

Colorectal carcinoma is a common malignancy in India as well as in world. Inspite of its high metastasizing ability to various organs and lymph node, orbital metastasis is exceptional. Very few cases have been reported in the world literature. We report orbital metastasis in a case of moderately differentiated rectal adenocarcinoma in a 58-year male patient from India in 2015. We want to focus ...
