Metastatic Cancer Tracking Gets Computational Upgrade

Tracing and predicting the course that metastatic cancers take through the body may shed light on cellular changes that lead to metastasis. Metastatic disease causes about 90% of cancer deaths from solid tumors—masses of cells that grow in organs such as the breast, prostate, or colon. Understanding the drivers of metastasis could lead to new treatments aimed at blocking the process of cancer spreading through the body. Now, Princeton University investigators have developed a new computati
