Abstract
A fundamental hallmark of cancer is its progression to metastases. Breast cancer metastatic growth in the lungs, bones, liver and/or brain causes fatal complications. Unfortunately, the cellular and biochemical mechanisms governing this multi-step process remain ill-defined. The recent application of intravital multiphoton microscopy (IV-MPM) to image fluorescently labeled cells in mouse models of cancer allowed a dynamic observation of the metastatic process at the subcellular level. In this article, we discuss the use of IV-MPM for studying breast cancer metastasis and describe a versatile multiphoton microscope for imaging tumor-stroma interactions.
