A Basque research consortium has managed to stop the development of colon cancer and its liver metastasis in an experimental model using mice. This breakthrough, which could open new avenues for the future treatment of these pathologies, has been achieved by creating molecules that interfere with the tumour cells adhering to other cells in the body. In this way, these molecules stop both the tumour growth and the spreading of tumour cells to other organs and their subsequent proliferation...
