Effects of hemodynamic shear stress on circulating breast cancer cells

The ability of a cancer cell to relocate to a distal location and subsequently form tumours largely depends on its ability to withstand hemodynamic shear stress in the blood vessel. While previous studies have shown that cancer cells have an enhanced resistance towards these intense conditions, litt...
