A new research paper titled "Initiation of tumor dormancy by the lymphovascular embolus" has been published in Oncotarget ...

Figure 8: Schematic of the Mary-X xenograft/spheroidgenesis model of tumor dormancy Schematic depicts the Mary-X xenograft/spheroidgenesis sequence (A–G) which initiates tumor dormancy in vivo ...

Naturally occurring angiogenesis inhibitors may be involved in tumor dormancy and are being tested for anti-cancer treatment.

Persister cells arise as a result of cancer treatment and they are often responsible for tumour relapse. A team of ...

“Our research identified a key mechanism used by cancer cells to evade therapy by remaining in a dormant state, hibernating before they ‘wake up’ years later and begin to rapidly divide agai ...

Future Oncol. 2011;7(11):1285-1297. More broadly, DTC dormancy creates a variety of clinical challenges to understanding and treating bone metastases. It is not standard practice to evaluate bone ...

Breast cancer can resurface after remaining dormant for 15 years following successful treatment, a study has found. Women with large tumours and cancer that had spread to the lymph nodes had the ...

The University of Sheffield was given the funding to look into dormant cancer cells and develop new treatments for myeloma, a type of blood cancer. Myeloma affects 6,000 people in the UK every ...
