Scientists Provide Explanation For How Cancer Spreads, PhysOrg.com
 









Excerpts: Metastasis, the spread of cancer throughout the body, can be explained
by the fusion of a cancer cell with a white blood cell in the original tumor,
according to Yale School of Medicine researchers, who say that this single event
can set the stage for cancer's migration to other parts of the body. (...)
"Viewing the fusion of a cancer cell and a white blood cell as the initiating
event for metastasis suggests that metastasis is virtually another disease
imposed on the pre-existing cancer cell," said Pawelek. "We expect this to open
new areas for therapy based on the fusion process itself."
