A Model for the Diversity Explosion Fundamental to Metastasis

2025-12-16

Abstract excerpt

Most deaths from cancer are caused by their metastases. Along with the ability to evade the immune system and to invade and disrupt very different tissue environments, metastases usually develop resistance to whatever therapeutic approaches are tried. Their extreme adaptability requires a diversity of traits from which natural selection can choose, but current models, such as the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transiti...
