Study finds specific tumor environment that stimulates cancer cells to metastasize

A new study, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of California, San Diego, has identified how the environment surrounding a tumor can stimulate metastatic behavior in the individual cancer cells. Researchers found that the tumor cells activate a particular set of genes and begin to form blood vessel-like structures when they are confined in a densely packed environment.
