[ 4 ] [ 5 ] A tumor suppressor would trigger an apoptotic pathway in a cancer cell if there were DNA damage, polyploidy, or uncontrolled cell growth.
Disseminating cancer cells can proliferate or become dormant depending on the microenvironment and factors such as the ERK/p38 ratio. Dormancy is a stage in cancer progression where the cells cease dividing but survive in a quiescent state while waiting for appropriate environmental conditions to begin proliferation again. [1]
An analysis of 30 blood samples – taken over time from three women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and three women who have not – showed changes in the levels of a set of six proteins.
