Breaking Boundaries: Role of the Brain Barriers in Metastatic Process

The Role of Brain Barriers in Brain Metastasis Background Introduction Brain metastases (BMs) are the most common intracranial tumors in adults, occurring 3 to 10 times more frequently than primary brain tumors. Despite multimodal treatments including surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, the prognosis for brain metastases remains poo...

ENPP1 Induces Blood–Brain Barrier Dysfunction and Promotes Brain Metastasis Formation in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Positive Breast Cancer

The Role of ENPP1 in Brain Metastasis of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Academic Background Brain metastasis (BM) is a severe neurological complication in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer (HER2+ BC), with an incidence rate as high as 50%. The formation of brain metastasis is closely related to how tumor cells cross the blood-brain barrier (BB...

Tumor Architecture and Microenvironment Features in Brain Metastasis of Breast Cancer

Specific Tumor Structures and Microenvironment of Breast Cancer Metastasis to the Brain: A Research Review Research Background Brain metastasis is one of the severe complications faced by breast cancer patients, leading to complex neurological complications and low survival rates, with very limited treatment options. Among the various subtypes of b...

Analysis of Breast Cancer Brain Metastases Reveals an Enrichment of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 12 Structural Rearrangements in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2–Positive Disease

Research Report on CDK12 Structural Rearrangements in Brain Metastases of Breast Cancer Background and Purpose Breast Cancer (BC) is the second most common solid tumor involving the Central Nervous System (CNS). Brain Metastases from Breast Cancer (BCBMs) are becoming increasingly common among patients with metastatic breast cancer. Patients with a...

Disturbance in Cerebral Blood Microcirculation and Hypoxic-Ischemic Microenvironment are Associated with the Development of Brain Metastasis

Microcirculatory Disorders of Cerebral Blood Flow and the Hypoxic-Ischemic Microenvironment Related to Brain Metastasis Development Background and Research Motivation Brain metastasis (BM) is an increasing challenge in oncology due to its severe impact on neurological function, limited treatment options, and resulting poor prognosis. BM develops th...
