Urokinase Exerts Antimetastatic Effects by Dissociating Clusters of Circulating Tumor Cells-Letter.

Clusters of circulating tumor cells (CTC) exhibit more robust metastatic properties than single CTC. Thus, understanding the distinct behaviors of CTC clusters and how CTC clustering is regulated may offer new insights into how to limit metastasis. In this study, we utilized an in vivo confocal system to observe the clustering behavior of CTC in real time, finding that the number of clusters in...

Development of Antimetastatic Drugs by Targeting Tumor Sialic Acids

One-third of all cancer categories in clinics have a high incidence of neoplasm metastasis. Neoplasm metastasis is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths. However, the prevailing therapeutic approach to this pathogenic process is presently unsatisfactory. Paradoxically to our efforts and expectations, except for some antibodies, no obvious improvements and therapeutic benefits in currently ...

Clusters of circulating tumor cells traverse capillary-sized vessels.

Multicellular aggregates of circulating tumor cells (CTC clusters) are potent initiators of distant organ metastasis. However, it is currently assumed that CTC clusters are too large to pass through narrow vessels to reach these organs. Here, we present evidence that challenges this assumption through the use of microfluidic devices designed to mimic human capillary constrictions and CTC cluste...

Poor Prognosis Indicated by Venous Circulating Tumor Cell Clusters in Early-Stage Lung Cancers.

Early detection of metastasis can be aided by circulating tumor cells (CTC), which also show potential to predict early relapse. Because of the limited CTC numbers in peripheral blood in early stages, we investigated CTCs in pulmonary vein blood accessed during surgical resection of tumors. Pulmonary vein (PV) and peripheral vein (Pe) blood specimens from patients with lung cancer were drawn du...
