Targeting hibernating breast cancer cells in the lung could reduce secondary cancers

(The Francis Crick Institute) Healthy lung cells support the survival of breast cancer cells, allowing them to hibernate in the lung before forming secondary tumors, according to new research, conducted in mice, from the Crick. The findings could help the development of new treatments that interfere with this behavior, reducing the number of secondary cancers.
