Abstract excerpt
Spreading of melanoma is associated with efficient extravasation of circulating tumor cells from the vascular system into distant target organs. This process is accompanied and supported by proinflammatory and procoagulatory conditions. In this study, we analysed the ability of human melanoma cell lines to activate endothelial cells (ECs) in vitro. Some melanoma cells, that is, MV3, were shown to trigger an...
