Stopping cancer cells from entering a soft biomechanical state could help the immune system clear dormant cancer metastasis.

Cancer's most insidious ability lies not just in its capacity to grow, but in its power to transform. When tumor cells undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), they shed their structured, ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Metastasis, the primary cause of cancer-related mortality, is driven by alterations in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), characterized by the lack ...

Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune ...

Why do some tumors spread while others remain localized? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumor cells ...

Deaths from cancer have fallen dramatically. They’ve dropped by 34% over the past three decades — largely thanks to better treatments, earlier detection, and fewer people smoking. But cancer ...

A recent study published in Engineering has shed new light on the mechanisms underlying the metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The research identified enolase 2 (ENO2), a ...

New Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center research reveals how dormant metastatic cancer cells protect themselves from the ...
