ABSTRACT Breast cancer stands as the most prevalent malignancy afflicting women. Despite significant advancements in its diagnosis and treatment, breast metastasis continues to be a leading cause of mortality among To metastasize, cells face numerous challenges: breaking away from primary tumor, surviving circulation, establishing distant location, evading immune detection and, finally, thriving initiate new tumor. Each these sequential steps requires adapt myriad stressors develop survival mechanisms. In addition, patients with undergo surgical removal their tumor have various therapeutic interventions designed eradicate cells. this plethora attacks stresses, certain not only manage persist but also proliferate robustly, giving rise substantial tumors that frequently culminate patient's demise. enhance patient outcomes, there is an imperative need for deeper understanding molecular cellular mechanisms empower survive expand.
