Circulating tumour cells and lung microvascular tumour cell retention in patients with metastatic breast and cervical cancer
Highlights • Pulmonary microvascular obstruction with CTCs can be observed in some patients with metastatic breast and cervical cancer. • We suggest that CTCs might have broader systemic effects beyond their significance as predictors of tumour progression. • This study might provide a glimpse into...
