Researchers reveals ways of preventing cancer cells from colonizing liver

Researchers at ETH Zurich have made a significant discovery in the fight against cancer metastasis, potentially paving the way for new treatments to prevent the spread of colorectal cancer to the liver. In a study published today in Nature, a team led by Andreas Moor from the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering at ETH Zurich's Basel campus has identified key molecular mechanisms that allow colorectal cancer cells to colonize the liver. "Nine times out of ten, metastasis is the cau...
