## Abstract ## Background. Metastases are the primary cause of cancer treatment failure and death, yet metastatic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. ## Methods. We studied the molecular basis of head and neck cancer metastasis by transcriptionally profiling 70 samples from 27 patientsβma
provides a favorable soil. In the case of breast carcinoma, the final step in bone metastasis (namely bone destruction) is mediated by osteoclasts that are stimulated by local production of the tumor peptide parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTH-rP), whereas prostate carcinomas stimulate osteobla
