DCB - Tumor Metastasis Research

*Tumor Metastasis Research was originally published by the National Cancer Institute.*

Tumor metastasis research examines the mechanisms that allow cancer cells to leave the primary tumor and spread to another part of the body. Learn about recent tumor metastasis research studies supported by the Division of Cancer Biology....

The material provided was concise and easy to understand. I gained valuable insights into tumor metastasis research, particularly the mechanisms that enhance metastatic capability and the behavior of circulating tumor cells. The research focuses on cell invasion, motility, and the impact of the tumor microenvironment on the acquisition of metastatic properties and the interactions of metastatic cells with blood or lymphatic vessels. It is highlighted that metastasis-competent tumor cells may emerge early in tumor development and possess distinct gene expression and enhanced metastatic potential. The supported research also focuses on identifying and characterizing circulating/disseminated tumor cells. Overall, it is an excellent website.
