Cancer cell clusters
Cancer cell clusters describe groups of cancer cells which clump together and travel throughout the body. Cancer cell clusters are more resistant to actions of the immune system and therapies because they are larger and harder to penetrate than single cells. Metastatic disease can occur when cancer cell clusters move to a distant part of the body and survive long enough to seed into a new cancer.
