Intraskeletal myofiber metastasis of breast carcinoma
Human Pathology
|November 1, 1982
Abstract:
The authors report a case of chest skeletal muscle involvement by recurrent adenocarcinoma of the breast, in which individual myofibers were invaded by breast carcinoma cells. This unusual type of skeletal muscle involvement is especially interesting because it is known that the sarcolemma of skeletal myofibers is very resistant to enzymatic, mechanical, and chemical breakage.

Metastasis
6.3K
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
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...

Tumor Progression
7.2K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
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...
