Two models of circulating tumour cell (CTC) dynamics have been proposed to explain the phenomenon of tumour ‘self-seeding’, whereby CTCs repopulate the primary tumour and accelerate growth: primary seeding, where cells from a primary tumour shed into the vasculature and return back to the primary themselves; and secondary seeding, where cells from the primary first metastasize into a secondary tissue and form microscopic secondary deposits, which then shed cells into the vasculature returning… Expand
