New method to detect rare circulating tumor cells in blood samples

Metastasis - the development of tumor growth at a secondary site - is responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths. It occurs when the primary tumor site sheds cancerous cells which are then circulated through the body via blood vessels or lymph nodes.
