摘要: The final stage of breast cancer involves spreading breast cancer cells to the vital organs
like the brain, liver lungs and bones in the process called metastasis. Once the target organ is overtaken
by the metastatic breast cancer cells, its usual function is compromised causing organ dysfunction
and death. Despite the significant research on breast cancer metastasis, it’s still the main
culprit of breast cancer-related deaths. Exploring the complex molecular pathways associated with
the initiation and progression of breast cancer metastasis could lead to the discovery of more effective
ways of treating the devastating phenomenon. The present review article highlights the recent
advances to understand the complexity associated with breast cancer metastases, organotropism
and therapeutic advances.
