Blood vessel 'doorway' lets breast cancer cells spread through blood stream
Using real-time, high-resolution imaging, scientists have identified how a "doorway" in the blood vessel wall allows cancer cells to spread from breast tumors to other parts of the body. The findings lend support to emerging ...
