Rigid tumors contain soft cancer cells

2021-12-01

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Palpation, as already mentioned in the ancient Egyptian medical text Ebers Papyrus, utilizes that solid tumors are stiffer than the surrounding tissue. However, cancer cell lines tend to soften, which may intuitively foster invasion by enhancing the ability of cancer cells to squeeze through dense tissue. This paradox raises questions besides the oxymoron itself: Does softness emerge fr...
