Metastasis has been observed to be an inefficient process, but a consensus has not been reached as to which steps of metastasis are potentially rate-limiting. The effects of sustained exposure to hemodynamic shear stress on the viability and behaviour of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are also not f...
