From: Breast cancer dormancy: need for clinically relevant models to address current gaps in knowledge
The successful study of breast cancer dormancy relies on the interplay between in vivo models of dormancy, in vitro manipulation, and patient samples in order to identify mechanisms of dormancy, generate new hypotheses, and develop therapies with the ultimate goal of new clinical trials to study breast cancer dormancy and to assess treatments.
