Proof-of-concept study dissolves clusters of breast cancer cells to prevent metastases
by ETH Zurich Study design and digoxin treatment response assessment. Credit: Nature Medicine (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41591-024-03486-6 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...
