Apoptotic cells promote circulating tumor cell survival and metastasis
During tumor progression and especially following cytotoxic therapy, cell death of both tumor and stromal cells is widespread. Despite clinical observations that high levels of apoptotic cells correlate with poorer patient outcomes, the physiological effects of dying cells on tumor progression …

A blood exchange method to study circulation kinetics of tumor cells in the blood
Blood is an essential compartment for tumor cell trafficking. In solid epithelial-derived tumors, blood serves as the major vehicle for metastasis, whose principal cell is the circulating tumor cell (CTC). These cells originate from the primary tumor and are shed at low concentrations into the …
