Mesenchymal stem cell–secreted extracellular vesicles instruct stepwise dedifferentiation of breast cancer cells into dormancy at the bone marrow perivascular region

OA Sandiford, RJ Donnelly, MH El-Far, LM Burgmeyer… - Cancer research, 2021 - AACR
In the bone marrow (BM), breast cancer cells (BCC) can survive in dormancy for decades as
cancer stem cells (CSC), resurging as tertiary metastasis. The endosteal region where BCCs …

Targeting disseminated estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer cells in bone marrow

JM Buschhaus, BA Humphries, SS Eckley, TH Robison… - Oncogene, 2020 - nature.com
Abstract Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer can recur up to 20 years after initial
