New study in @NatureMedicine from @LabLigorio
Macrovascular tumor infiltration and circulating tumor cell cluster dynamics in patients with cancer approaching the end of life
https://t.co/OazsCFbhSV
Addressing the fundamental question of why patients with advanced cancers die...

[Simran Asawa @Simran_Asawa]

Further, molecular changes such as reduced expression of cell cylce and cell adhesion moleluces, in perfect concordance with predictions from preclinical observations. Hopefully, this would further lead to a new class of therapies for targeting metastasis.

I am honored to have been involved in this novel clinical study published in Nature Medicine “Digoxin for reduction of circulating tumor cell cluster size in metastatic breast cancer: a proof-of-concept trial”. #cancer #breastcancer #metastasis #oncology

[Simran Asawa @Simran_Asawa]

Aceto lab has previously shown that CTC cluster dissociation reduces metastatic burden in pre-clinical models. Taking this one step ahead, we found that digoxin treatment leads to a significant reduction in CTC cluster size in patients, meeting the primary endpoint of the trial.

Check out the latest interesting work from our Aceto lab and my esteemed colleague @Max_sa999 . Well done man. All the hard work finally paid off!

[Massimo Saini @Max_sa999]

What's the impact of EMT on breast cancer cells, if we look at real-life metastatic patients? Quite not what we expected. Check it out here 👇
