Chinese scientists develop blood purifier to capture circulating tumor cells

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Chinese scientists have developed a novel blood purifier designed to capture circulating tumor cells, a key factor in cancer metastasis. This proof-of-concept device, tested successfully in mouse models of breast cancer, demonstrated its ability to remove these cells, thereby delaying tumor relapse and extending survival. The research, published in Microsystems & Nanoengineering, aims to reduce the risk of metastasis, which is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths globally. AI
