CCL2 recruits inflammatory monocytes to facilitate breast-tumour metastasis [PDF]
Macrophages abundantly found in the tumor microenvironment enhance malignancy(1). At metastatic sites a distinct population of metastasis associated macrophages (MAMs) promote tumor cell extravasation, seeding and persistent growth(2).

Human adipocytes stimulate invasion of breast cancer MCF-7 cells by secreting IGFBP-2. [PDF]
A better understanding of the effects of human adipocytes on breast cancer cells may lead to the development of new treatment strategies. We explored the effects of adipocytes on the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo.

Metastatic rectal cancer to the breast
Rectal cancer metastatic to the breast is an exceedingly rare event with around 15 cases reported in the literature. A metastatic breast deposit from the rectum signifies diffuse disseminated disease or a highly aggressive tumor such that surgical intervention other than palliation has a limited role.
