STAY INFORMED.
Researchers find sleeping cancer cells may explain cancer recurrence. These dormant tumor cells evade initial treatment and move to other parts of the body. Instead of multiplying to form tumors right away, the dormant cells remain asleep. They are hidden from the immune system and not actively dividing. But later, they can reawaken and give rise to tumors.

Researchers are now focusing on understanding:
1️⃣ how dormant cells survive
2️⃣ what triggers them to “wake up”
3️⃣ how therapies can target them to prevent recurrence

This could change cancer recurrence as we know today. Together, we HOPE to Ovarcome 🩵 .
