Cancer Cells Metastasis
The mortality of cells due to tumors and invasion is a requirement for metastasis of
tumors from their original site. The chemotic factors in the environment promotes invasion and
motility of the tumor hence facilitation of metastasis. Many types of tumors types express
epidermal growth factor. Several lines show evidences of production of epidermal growth factors
(EGF) by non-tumor cells. Infiltration of the T lymphocytes located in the ovarian and breast
tumors lead to the production of heparin which binds EGF. Breast tumor explants shows that it is
the tumor associated (TAM) macrophages that produce the EGF and not the carcinoma cells.
There is a correlation between the TAMs and poor prediction in the human breast cancer. The
metastasis of the tumor is weakened in animals with a lower quantity of macrophages (Goswami
5280). The pitiable prognosis in the some tumor forms is associated to the colony stimulating
factors 1 (CSF-1). This CSF-1 is responsible for the diversity and existence of the macrophages.
In an experiment done previously, it was found out that macrophages and carcinoma cells
comigate and depends on each other.
The appropriate way to end or block Carcinoma cell invasion is by inhibiting the EGF
and CSF-1 receptors. This study shows that macrophages enhance straight motility and the
incursion of carcinoma cells in the nonexistence of other cell types and exogenous development
aspects. This study also aims at showing a dependence of invasion on the production of EGF by
