Mechanisms of Metastasis
Breast cancer cells (brown) in the mouse mammary gland.
Cancer cells establish distant colonies by the process of metastasis which is a serious and often fatal complication of this malignant disease. Weill Cornell scientists from the center are focused on cutting edge research to better understand the mechanisms of metastasis in various cancers including glioblastoma (brain cancer), lung cancer and breast cancers. Studies that focus on cancer microenvironment also allows a general understanding of cancer spread that is common to most cancers.
