Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related death and drives patient
morbidity as well as healthcare costs. Bone is the primary site of metastasis for
several cancers-breast and prostate cancers in particular. Efforts to treat bone
metastases have been stymied by a lack of models to study the progression,
cellular players, and signaling pathways driving bone metastasis. In this review,
we examine newly described and classic models of bone metastasis. Through the use
of current in vivo, microfluidic, and in silico computational bone metastasis
models we may eventually understand how cells escape the primary tumor and how
these circulating tumor cells then home to and colonize the bone marrow. Further,
future models may uncover how cells enter and then escape dormancy to develop
into overt metastases. Recreating the metastatic process will lead to the
discovery of therapeutic targets for disrupting and treating bone metastasis.
