Sentences with phrase «original tumor site»

There is evidence that rigid tumors shed more cells, which escape the original tumor site and may lead to a greater chance of cancer spreading through metastasis.

When researchers injected fresh breast cancer cells in the side opposite the original tumor site, the disease didn't recur in any of the mice, as the cancer was rejected by the immune system's memory.

Not exact matches

When the dendritic cells are activated, they train T cells — their allies in the adaptive arm of the immune system — to attack cancer cells anywhere in the body, whether at the site of the original tumor or distant metastases.

A lot needs to go right for a cancer cell to successfully leave the site of its original tumor, travel in the bloodstream, enter a distant organ and begin to colonize it.

Comparing the metastasized tumors with the original breast tumors, the researchers were surprised to learn that multiple, slightly genetically different cells from the original site had broken away together and established the new tumors.
