Interstitial flow in tumors is a key mechanism leading to cancer metastasis. Tumor growth is accompanied by the development of a leaky vasculature, which increases intratumoral pressure and generates an outward interstitial flow. This flow promotes tumor cell migration away from the tumor. The natur...
