    Study looked at tumor microenvironment of metastasis structures (TMEMs) involved in metastasis. It has also been shown that taxane-based chemotherapies promote tumor regrowth by inducing angiogenesis. In this study, the tumor growth was slowed with taxanes chemotherapies, but it increased TMEMs and thus metastatic potential.

  • We found about a twofold increase in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) (P < 0.05) after paclitaxel treatment in all experimental models examined
  • We found an increase in both the metastatic incidence (at least one micrometastatic focus of more than five tumor cells) (Fig. 3I) and the number of cancer cell micrometastases in the lungs of paclitaxel-treated mice
  • in early-stage breast cancers, chemotherapy increases vascular permeability at TMEM sites, which is accompanied by increased cancer cell dissemination.

  • significant ~1.3-fold (P = 0.027) increase in the number of CTCs

    New study suggests chemotherapy may increase metastasis  via increase in TMEM.  I wonder if this increases recurrence as well.  Could the very corner stone of Cancer therapy actually increase metastatic risk potential?
