Proof-of-concept study dissolves clusters of breast cancer cells to prevent metastases

Certain tumor types do not remain at their point of origin but spread throughout the body and form metastases. This is because the primary tumor continuously releases cancer cells into the blood. These circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can join together into small clusters of up to a dozen cells and settle in other organs.
