Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have developed a promising new approach to prevent breast cancer recurrence by targeting dormant tumor cells in the body using drugs like hydroxychloroquine and everolimus, showing high success rates in both human and animal studies, potentially reducing the risk of relapse and saving lives.
A new study has found that STING, a protein that plays a role in the immune system's response to cancer, can inhibit the reactivation of dormant metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma. Dormant tumor cells can remain inactive for years before reactivating and causing cancer to spread. The study suggests that STING could be a potential target for preventing the reactivation of dormant metastasis and improving cancer treatment outcomes.
