Abstract:
We report a case of renal tumor secondary to a breast cancer occurring 16 years after radical mastectomy. This is the sixth report case of renal metastasis from breast cancer of a 51-year-old woman. Percutaneous biopsy of the renal tumor confirmed the diagnosis during the follow-up. The patient was treated with chemotherapy and is alive 8 months after diagnosis. Previously, cases like our case showed long interval from mastectomy to diagnosis of metastasis.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
