Mechanism of lung adenocarcinoma spine metastasis induced by CXCL17

Purpose Spine metastases are common in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Improving the clinical outcome of spine metastasis LUAD patients requires knowledge on the mechanism underlying the metastatic process. Here, we sought to decipher the effect and mechanism of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 17 (CXCL17) on LUAD spine metastasis.
