The induction of a mesenchymal phenotype by platelet cloaking of cancer cells is a universal phenomenon

Highlights • Platelet cancer cell interactions are a key factor in driving the pro-metastatic phenotype.• Platelet cancer cell interactions appear to be mediated by 5 key genes which have established roles in metastasis.• Targeting these mediators of metastasis could improve outcomes for cancer patients.
