On this #WomensDay, we recognise the impact of breast cancer on women around the world. Today, we remark the dedication of female researchers who are advancing metastasis understanding and the vital role of women's perspectives in shaping more effective and inclusive cancer care and research.

🎉 Yesterday we launched online Mac4Me - an European doctoral network studying Macrophage Targets for Metastatic Treatment! We are investigating neuroblastoma, breast, and prostate cancers - three tumor types that share metastatic spread to brain, bone, and liver.
