Breast cancer reshapes lymphatic vessels to aid its spread

news-medical.net

Breast cancer actively reshapes lymphatic vessels to facilitate its spread to lymph nodes and other body parts. Finnish researchers discovered molecular changes in lymphatics that aid cancer cell travel and metastasis, identifying a protein called MPG used by cancer cells to bind to these vessels. This finding offers a new understanding of cancer spread, potentially leading to targeted therapies to prevent metastasis and improve patient outcomes.
