A mechanism that causes cancer cells to metastasize has been described
as a “chase and run” between healthy cells and cancer cells. As healthy
cells try to evade the cancer cells,
they emit a chemical attractant that causes the malignant cells to
follow them, thus spreading the cancer. The researchers hope this
information can be used in the future to find a new way to treat
metastasis.
