Metastatic pathway and the microvascular and physicochemical microenvironments of human melanoma xenografts

Abstract Background Malignant melanoma of the skin can metastasize through blood vessels and lymphatics. The primary tumor develops a vascular microenvironment characterized by abnormal blood vessels and lymphatics and a physicochemical microenvironment characterized by low oxygen tension, regions w...
