Metastatic Tumor Model Development

Metastatic tumor models are important experimental tools used to study the metastatic process of prostate cancer. Alfa Cytology is committed to providing one-stop metastatic tumor model development services. Our goal is to provide you with reliable, reproducible and translatable models.

Introduction to Metastatic Tumor Model

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer death in men, with a lower mortality rate in the non-metastatic stage. However, unlike limited prostate cancer, metastatic prostate cancer has a poorer prognosis, and advanced tumor metastasis is the leading cause of patient death.

Bone is one of the most common sites of metastasis in advanced solid cancers, with nearly 60% of prostate cancer patients developing bone metastases. Animal models of bone metastatic prostate cancer are important tools for understanding the characteristics of prostate cancer and finding new targets for future therapeutic agents.
