Tumor Dormancy and Recurrence

Provides for the first time a comprehensive description of tumor dormancy while defining the clinical and biological aspects of this phenomenon, as well as the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with tumor dormancy

Details future development and foreseeable clinical applications at the end of each chapter

Serves as a fundamental instrument for every researcher and clinician interested in the field of tumor dormancy as well as a means of disseminating stimulating concepts and prompting the development of innovative technological solutions
