In an outstanding breakthrough, an international team of scientists has discovered a protein biomarker than can predict whether a patient’s metastasized breast cancer is dormant or about to turn deadly. The research will not only help doctors better treat patients suffering from breast cancer, but also points to new treatments that may be able to stimulate dormancy in cancer cells before they metastasize.
