Mechanisms of bone destruction in the development of skeletal metastases

ABSTRACT SKELETAL metastases are associated with progressive bone destruction but the pathogenesis is not well understood. I report here experiments which indicate that two principal

mechanisms are involved. The first is mediated by osteoclasts and the tumour secretes a diffusable osteoclast activating factor; the second functions when the residual trabeculae are

surrounded by the tumour cells. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your
