ABSTRACT

New insights into how cancer spreads prompt rethink of metastasis care

webfull — Mon, 05 May 2025 13:56:29 +0000

A ��ɫֱ��-led research collaboration has achieved a breakthrough in understanding how cancer spreads.

A clinical study of ovarian and colorectal cancer patients found cancer cells move in the bloodstream in clusters more commonly than was previously thought. The discovery could help doctors more quickly identify which cancer patients are at high risk of having their cancer spread to other organs, knowledge that could guide treatment decisions. The findings also potentially open new avenues for treatment.
