Abstract:
The molecular and cellular mechanisms of bone metastasis in prostate cancer remain unclear. Current researches focus on chemotaxis of tumor cells in bone metastasis, interactions between tumor cells and bone micro-environment as well as the vicious circle among tumor cells, osteoclasts, osteoblasts and bone matrix.
