Article Synopsis
- Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cancer cells that break off from a main tumor and float in the blood, but not all of them cause new tumors in other places.
- Scientists used a special technique called CRISPR to study CTCs from breast cancer patients and found some important genes that help these cells spread to other body parts in mice.
- They discovered that certain genes related to making proteins were linked to faster cancer growth and worse outcomes for patients, suggesting that new treatments targeting these aggressive CTCs could help stop cancer from spreading.
