Abstract:
Platelets can interact with circulating tumor cells to form platelet-tumor cell thrombus, which can facilitate the immune evasion of tumor cells. Activated platelets can also release a variety of bioactive factors, promoting tumor growth, invasion and angiogenesis. Research exploring the relationship between platelet and tumor metastasis can help elucidate the mechanisms of tumor metastasis and find new therapies for treatment of tumor metastasis.
