2007, Mayo Clinic ProceedingsCitation Excerpt :How this is related to metastasis is still unknown. More recent studies have shown that periodic acid-Schiff-positive loops are a separate independent risk factor for the development of metastasis.221 These loops have been shown to be vascular loops that consist of a combination of endothelial cells and tumor cells.
Tumor cell plasticity in uveal melanoma: Microenvironment directed dampening of the invasive and metastatic genotype and phenotype accompanies the generation of vasculogenic mimicry patterns
2006, American Journal of PathologyCitation Excerpt :Therefore, relative successes in treating planktonic malignancies such as the leukemias compared with solid malignancies may be related in part to the generation of vasculogenic mimicry patterns now documented3 in a wide variety of solid cancers. It is possible that in some tumors, highly invasive melanoma cells do not generate vasculogenic mimicry patterns or the patterns form only focally (vasculogenic mimicry patterns tend to form in discrete zones, typically at the tumor periphery at the interface between the tumor and the surrounding stroma56 and only seldom encompass the entire tumor57). Therefore, highly invasive tumor cells spatially remote from vasculogenic mimicry patterning may contribute to metastatic behavior.
