Contribution of platelets to tumour metastasis.
TLDR
Contributions of platelets to tumour cell survival and spread suggest platelets as a new avenue for therapy.Abstract:
Experimental evidence suggests that platelets contribute to metastasis through adhesive and haemostatic functions that promote cancer cell survival, immune evasion and interactions with vascular cells to assist organ colonization from the bloodstream. Extensive experimental evidence shows that platelets support tumour metastasis. The activation of platelets and the coagulation system have a crucial role in the progression of cancer. Within the circulatory system, platelets guard tumour cells from immune elimination and promote their arrest at the endothelium, supporting the establishment of secondary lesions. These contributions of platelets to tumour cell survival and spread suggest platelets as a new avenue for therapy.read more

TL;DR: In patients with colon cancer, hypoalbuminemia was associated with worse postoperative morbidity, mortality, and inferior survival, and in patients with metastatic CRC, high CAR and a low albumin/globulin ratio on blood chemistry tests were associated with poor OS and PFS.
