Bone: A Fertile Soil for Cancer Metastasis.

We describe some of the current methodologies used to study bone metastasis, highlighting the limitations of these methods and alternative future strategies to be used to study bone metastasis. While in vivo animal and patient studies may provide the gold standard for studying metastasis, ex vivo models can be used as an alternative to enable more controlled experiments designed to study the late stages of bone metastasis.
