Medical Xpress / Two-stage process helps metastatic cancer cells hide, then multiply in the lungs

Most cancer deaths are caused not by the initial tumor but by the spread of cancer cells to distant organs in the process called metastasis. Since it occurs at the cellular level, the earliest stages of metastasis are difficult ...
