Tumor Cell Escape from Therapy-Induced Senescence as a Model of Disease Recurrence after Dormancy

Abstract excerpt

Senescence, a durable form of growth arrest, represents a primary response to numerous anticancer therapies. Although the paradigm that senescence is "irreversible" has largely withstood the findings of tumor cell recovery from what has been termed "pseudo-senescence" or "senescence-like arrest," a review of the literature suggests that therapy-induced senescence in tumor cells is not obligatorily a permanent...
