Breaking boundaries: role of the brain barriers in metastatic process by Nasim Izadi, Peter Solár, Klaudia Hašanová, Alemeh Zamani, Maryam Shahidian Akbar, Klára Mrázová, Martin Bartošík, Tomáš Kazda, Roman Hrstka, Marek Joukal

“…BMs predominantly originate from primary lung (20–56%), breast (5–20%), and melanoma (7–16%) tumors, although they can arise from other cancer types less frequently. The metastatic cascade is a multistep process involving local invasion, intravasation into the bloodstream or lymphatic system, extravasation into normal tissue, and colonization of the distal site. …”

Insulin-Like Growth Factor and Epidermal Growth Factor Signaling in Breast Cancer Cell Growth: Focus on Endocrine Resistant Disease by Kallirroi Voudouri, Aikaterini Berdiaki, Maria Tzardi, George N. Tzanakakis, Dragana Nikitovic

“…It is well established that the endogenous synthesis of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) polypeptide growth factors are closely correlated to malignant transformation and all the steps of the breast cancer metastatic cascade. Numerous studies have demonstrated that both estrogens and growth factors stimulate the proliferation of steroid-dependent tumor cells, and that the interaction between these signaling pathways occurs at several levels. …”
