abstract：:The efficacy of prospective cancer treatments is routinely estimated by in vitro cell-line proliferation screens. However, it is unclear whether tumor aggressiveness and patient survival are influenced more by the proliferative or the migratory properties of cancer cells. To address this question, we experimentally me...
