Two aggregate states of cancer cell clusters. In blue: densely packed, more rounded cancer cells jam together and cannot move, reducing the risk of metastasis. In green: more elongated, loosely packed cancer cells can. Physics of Cancer finds first potential application in oncology - More accurate prognosis of how breast tumours spread Researchers led by Leipzig University have found a ground-breaking application in oncology for the scientific field of Physics of Cancer. This is a milestone for the new research field, proving its clinical relevance for the first time. Based on tissue and cell mechanics and using machine learning, the team developed a marker for cancer cell motility in digital pathology. The marker delivers new information about breast tumours that will improve the ability to predict the risk of metastasis, even after a decade has passed.
