Other CT findings include bone erosion and destruction, an enhancing soft-tissue mass, and a sharp zone of transition to normal tissue. MR imaging is optimal for depicting areas of tumor involvement.

The Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important cellular program during tumor migration, invasion and metastasis.
