Cancer is a major cause of global mortality, both in affluent countries and increasingly in developing nations. Many patients with cancer experience reduced life expectancy and have metastatic disease at the time of death. However, the more precise cause

types, the number of TAMs in colorectal cancer (CRC) is positively correlated with favorable outcomes, but the mechanism of this phenomenon remains unresolved. This observation was made in multiple international cohorts of patients with CRC: Swedish, Bulgarian, Japanese, Chinese, German, American, Gr...
When nanoparticles are administered in the bloodstream, their size and surface properties favor extravasation through leaky vasculature, followed by deep penetration and retention at the tumor sites, which is a phenomenon known as the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Once immobilized ...
other pollutant particles and bacteria from the environment [97]. If this silent cleaning function is blocked, a localized inflammatory reaction in the lungs may develop on pollutant particles and bacteria, or the pollutant may enter the bloodstream and lead to systemic inflammation up to sepsis, ...
Malignant tumors, on the other hand, often grow aggressively locally where they start, but tumor cells also can enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system and then spread to other sites in the body. This process of spread is termed metastasis; the areas of tumor growth at these distant sites ...
Cancer that spreads fast is a form of metastasis cancer that can spread to nearby organs like the bladder or can also center on the bloodstream or lymphatic system, wherein it can cause broken bones. Once cancer has spread to other pasts, there will be a requirement for treatment, and it...
The ideal circulating biomarker for screening would be released from the tumor into the bloodstream in sufficient quantities to achieve high discriminatory ability. Colorectal tumors present in asymptomatic people, particularly if they are early-stage carcinoma or advanced adenoma, may not release adequate...
bloodstream or lymphatic system and then spread to other sites in the body. This process of spread is termedmetastasis; the areas of tumor growth at these distant sites are calledmetastases. Since lung cancertends to spread or metastasizevery early after it forms, it is a very life-threatening...
