Circulating tumor cells exit circulation while maintaining multicellularity, augmenting metastatic potential

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Metastasis accounts for the majority of all cancer deaths, yet the process remains poorly understood. A pivotal step in the metastasis process is the exiting of tumor cells from the circulation, a process known as extravasation. However, it is unclear how tumor cells extravasate and whether multicellular clusters of tumor cells possess the ability to exit as a whole or must first disassociate. In this...
