Physics of cancer. Volume 1, Interplay between tumor biology, inflammation and cell mechanics /
In order to increase the healing opportunities of cancer, it is important to impair the dissemination and the spreading of cancer cells from the initial tumor and the formation of metastases in other organs or tissues of the human body. The underlying physical principles of these oncological process...
