  • Title: Why do some breast cancer cells remain dormant?
    Author: Neves-E-Castro M.
    Journal: Gynecol Endocrinol; 2006 Apr; 22(4):190-7. PubMed ID: 16723305.
    Abstract:
    Dormant breast cancer cells are a reality that cannot be overlooked. They may stay dormant either after a spread of cancer cells caused by surgery or after being generated by spontaneous or induced mutations in the course of breast gland growth. Some cases are presented in support of both possibilities, followed by a critical appraisal of the factors that may either keep them dormant or later stimulate their growth into a breast cancer.
