Cancer cells tend to soften, which may enhance their ability to squeeze through dense tissue. This cell softening has been demonstrated with the optical stretcher technology. Based on these fundamental findings we have developed a histophatological prognostic marker for distant metastasis. In a retrospective clinical study with 1380 breast cancer patients we have validated this approach. The new marker should apply to 92% of all cancers and will avoid over- and undertreatment of patients..
