Abstract
The dissemination of cancer from the primary site of growth to distant organs is an early event that leads to the random deposition of tumor cells throughout the organs of the body. Growth of these seeded cellular singularities into secondary, clinically manifest tumors is a notably non-random event. In addition to being the primary tumor site for multiple myeloma and several forms of bone cancer, the bone is the favored site for metastasis of breast, lung and prostate cancer. Once in the bone, these cancers interact with the bone microenvironment to become more aggressive and resistant to therapy. Therefore, the bone stroma is likely to play a major role in the support, growth and improved survival of the metastatic cancer cell. As such, therapeutic intervention targeting the bone stromal should enhance our ability to eliminate bone metastases.
