- Title
A New Diagnostic Tool With the Potential to Predict Tumor Metastasis.
- Authors
Nicholas, Joanne
- Abstract
The article presents information on a study which shows that oncogenic exosomes can be used to detect the type of cancer in an individual and also help to determine the likelihood of future metastasis. It informs that these tumor exosomes can be used as prognostic biomarkers, as it is easy to distinguish the exosome number and protein content in it through blood test. It further informs about the correlation between circulating exosome profiles and melanoma metastasis.
