Therapy-induced senescent tumor cells in cancer relapse

Abstract excerpt

Cellular senescence is characterized by a generally irreversible cell cycle arrest and the secretion of bioactive factors known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). In an oncogenic context, senescence is considered a tumor suppressive mechanism as it prevents cell proliferation and inhibits the progression from pre-malignant to malignant disease. However, recent studies have demonstrated that...
