Understanding why cancers relapse - sometimes years or decades after successful treatment - is a major challenge in the cancer field

This perspective in Nature discusses several of the important recent advances and new studies in the field of tumor dormancy 🧪⚕️

Why cancer can come back years later — and how to stop it
Researchers are targeting dormant tumour cells that might explain why some cancers reappear long after successful treatment.

Overactivating oncogenic signalling and forcing tumour cells into unsustainable signalling stress as a novel therapeutic strategy in settings where conventional inhibitors fail.

📢 Registration is open until 15 December for anyone ready to explore this novel therapeutic direction.
You have until 15 December to register for our upcoming virtual conference! We will explore a seemingly paradoxical approach to cancer therapy, based on the deliberate hyper-activation of cancer-relevant signalling pathways.
