NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (TNSres) -- Rockefeller University issued the following news:
Ninety percent of cancer deaths are due to the spread of cancer, not complications from the original tumor. Thus, for over 50 years now, scientists have been on a quest to identify which malignant mutations within the tumor allow rogue cells to break away from the primary tumor and travel through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to metastasize throughout the body.
But new research sugges . . .
