Inhibition Of Metastatic Tumors
Published Wednesday, May 28, 2014Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States. Death of cancer patients is most often caused by metastatic spread of tumor cells from the primary tumor site through the bloodstream where the cells lie dormant for long periods. These dormant cells will invade secondary sites such as the lung, liver or kidney where they develop...
