โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
In recent years the bone marrow has become recognized as a potential source of cells for nonโhaematopoietic wound healing, in some instances demonstrating surprising plasticity in providing new epithelial cells. On the other hand, the contribution of bone marrow derived cells to fibrosis and blood vessel formation is more widely acknowledged. Tumour stroma has a vital role to play in determining cancer growth and spread, and there is a growing realization that the bone marrow has a significant input into this desmoplastic response. This review focuses on the contribution of bone marrow cells to tumour stroma, highlighting the bone marrow as a potential new portal through which to direct antiโtumour therapies.

**Background**: Detection of malignant cells in bone marrow and peripheral blood of patients with solid tumours at the time of surgery is increasingly emerging as a prognostic factor for disease progression and a way of monitoring adjuvant therapies. Furthermore, isolation and characterization of th
