Abstract:
The authors present a case which is essentially interesting because of its rarity. A metastasis of the left pelvic ureter was discovered following an episode of renal colic in a woman treated for known breast cancer. The patient's age, 49 years, encouraged conservative treatment. The functional urological and radiological outcome were satisfactory with a follow-up of 3 years.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
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...
