## Abstract Dogma dictates that brain metastasis originate from the proliferation of extravasated tumor cells and that the bloodβbrain barrier (BBB) prevents the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs to the tumors. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between tumor localization an
The Mammaglobin gene, a breast-specific member of the uteroglobin gene family, has been previously identified as being overexpressed in some breast tumours, but the cellular origin and relationship to tumour progression are unknown. Using a subtractive hybridization approach, mammaglobin mRNA has al
## Abstract Metastasis (the spread of cancer from a primary tumor to secondary organs) is responsible for most cancer deaths. The ability to follow the fate of a population of tumor cells over time in an experimental animal would provide a powerful new way to monitor the metastatic process. Here we
