Transcriptome analysis of novel B16 melanoma metastatic variants generated by serial intracarotid artery injection by Jenny C. Kienzler, Erick M. Contreras, Janet Treger, Linda M. Liau, Geoffrey C. Owens, Robert M. Prins

“…Abstract The incidence of brain metastases (BrM) in patients with metastatic melanoma is reported to be 30–50% and constitutes the third most frequent BrM after breast and renal cancers. Treatment strategies including surgical resection, stereotactic radiation, and immunotherapy have improved clinical response rates and overall survival, but the changes that occur in circulating melanoma cells to promote invasion of the brain are not fully understood. …”
