Scientists may have finally figured out how cells spread, paving the way for new cancer treatments. A study spearheaded by Imperial College London, discovered for the first time, how cancer cells migrate from organ to organ. The team discovered cancer cells change into a 'liquid' state to move through the narrow passages of the body. This means that aggressive cancer, might in the future be effectively frozen and isolated as soon as it is detected.
