Breast cancer dormancy: need for clinically relevant models to address current gaps in knowledge

Abstract Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the USA. Although advances in treatment over the past several decades have significantly improved the outlook for this disease, most women who are diagnosed with estrogen receptor positive disease remain at risk of metastatic relapse fo...
