Read Full ArticleGene signature predicts whether localized prostate cancer is likely to spread
A genetic signature in localized prostate cancer can predict whether the cancer is likely to spread and whether it will respond to anti-androgen therapy. …
Read Full ArticleCancer cells mediate immune suppression in the brain
A type of brain immune cell, called microglia, can suppress immune response and effectively promote the growth of breast cancer cells that have spread to the brain. …
Read Full ArticleHow to prevent the spread of tumor cells via the lymph vessels
Preclinical study shows that an antibody against a signaling molecule of the vascular system causes lymphatic vessels in the tumor to die, thereby suppressing metastasis and prolonging survival. …
Read Full ArticleA lack of oxygen in tumors promotes metastasis
New findings reveal an important relationship between the oxygen supply to tumors and the formation of metastases. …
Read Full ArticleHow mechanical forces nudge skin tumors toward malignancy
New research highlights how mechanical properties of tissue elements that surround pre-malignant tumor cells powerfully shape the development of skin tumors. …
Read Full ArticleCancer cells spread by taking over blood vessels
Scientists used a tissue-engineered 3D microvessel model to study how breast cancer cells invade blood vessels and spread to distant sites. …
Read Full ArticleHDAC6 can control tumor growth and halt metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer
Study shows HDAC6 inhibitors can both improve immunotherapy response and halt breast cancer metastasis. …
Read Full ArticleBreast cancer cells can reprogram immune cells to assist in metastasis
Metastatic breast cancer cells can reprogram natural killer (NK) cells so that they stop killing cancer cells and, instead, assist in metastasis. …
