Mechanical regulation of tumor metastasis from intravasation to extravasation

Caption

Schematic illustration of the mechanical regulation of tumor metastasis, highlighting four key processes: intravasation, blood circulation, rolling, and entrapment. Mechanical cues, including geometric confinement and fluid shear stress, influence cancer cell migration, survival, and metastatic dissemination.
