NIH, Northwestern scientists develop potential new approach to stop cancer metastasis

(NIH/National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS)) Researchers have identified a compound that blocks the spread of pancreatic and other cancers in various animal models. When cancer spreads from one part of the body to another in a process called metastasis, it can eventually grow beyond the reach of effective therapies. Now, there is a new plan of attack against this deadly process, thanks to scientists at the National Institutes of Health, Northwestern University and their collaborative research partners.
