Robin,
Your post remind me of an article by a internet medical commentator (but one without any medical background) who claimed that a big study of 5 or 6 touthands people taking blood thinners there was about 150 cancer patients among them but not a single metastatic case. Since he was not providing his source I was not able to check it.
He explained this unexpected lack of progression to metastasis by stating that the increased fluidity of the blood was preventing circulating cancer cells from sticking into narrow capillaries for the required 20 minutes he claimed was necessary for the cells to establish a permanent "foothold" to grow.
At the time I read it this seemed to me a bit outlandish but there is perhaps some valid elements in that theory?
