Natural killer cell regulation of breast cancer stem cells mediates metastatic dormancy
2023-10-03
Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer patients with estrogen receptor positive tumors face a constant risk of disease recurrence for the remainder of their lives. Dormant tumor cells residing in tissues such as the bone marrow may generate clinically significant metastases many years after initial diagnosis. Previous studies suggest that dormant cells display “stem like” properties (CSCs), which may be regulated by the immune system. Alt...
