ical shielding of tumor cells within the emboli and increased ability of tumor platelet emboli to arrest in the microvasculature with possible occlusion of a precapillary sphincter. This would result in distal hypoxia and stasis with possible damage to the endothelium (microinjury hypothesis). Additional possible mechanisms are: greater adhesion of tumor cells to the subendothelial matrix via platelet bridges, protection of attached tumor cells from shear forces in the circulatory system, and enhanced tumor cell survival due to the release of platelet derived growth factors. The relevance of each of the above-suggested mechanisms to platelet enhancement of tumor cell metastasis remains to be established.
