Abstract:
:Metastasis is the spread of cells from a primary tumor to a distant site, where they arrest and grow to form a secondary tumor. Conventional metastasis models have focused primarily on analysis of end point tumor formation following inoculation with tumor cells. This approach can be used to measure the metastatic potential of cell lines, the morphology of metastases and their vasculature and the overall effectiveness of treatment strategies. However, it cannot, reveal the dynamics of metastatic progression, tumor cell interactions with host tissues or the characteristics of blood flow within the tumor microvasculature. Intravital videomicroscopy has been developed to visualize and quantify the movement of tumor cells and their interactions with host tissues as they travel through metastatic pathways within the body and arrest at secondary sites. Intravital videomicroscopy can also be used to quantify the morphology and functional capacity of tumor microvasculature, as well as the timing and dynamic effects of drugs targeted to disrupt tumor vasculaturization. With the development of new fluorescent probes and reporter genes, intravital videomicroscopy has the potential to provide evidence of the timing and location of metabolic processes within the metastatic cascade that may serve as specific targets for the treatment of breast cancer.
