A research team led by Chair Professor Chuxia Deng and Assistant Professor Miao Kai in the Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) at the University of Macau (UM) has made a groundbreaking discovery in the study of cancer metastasis. The team, for the first time, conducted a qualitative and quantitative analysis of breast cancer metastasis routes by applying a barcoding system based on a single-cell lineage tracing approach (CellTag). The results revealed that cancer cells primarily disseminate via the lymphatic system rather than the bloodstream. The research also found that crosstalk between tumour cells and the tumour microenvironment (TME) determines the metastatic potential of cancer cells. The study systematically demonstrates tumour metastatic routes and opens up new avenues for the development of cancer treatment strategies. The research has been published in the prestigious journal Molecular Cancer.
