Prostate cancer goes dormant, What really happens?

Posted by jeff Marchi @jeffmarc, 1 day ago

Here is an article I just received today that discusses the issue of prostate cancer going dormant, with quite a good amount of detail.

It also discusses some scary things that can bring it back.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

I'm glad that the researchers are figuring this stuff out. I'll take a pause on celebrating with I'm cured.

Very interesting, thanks for posting.

@jeffmarc Thanks for the article. It would be helpful to know some % of dormant cells that become active as a general guideline but on the positive side, at least most of us are testing regularly to catch something that may re-occur early.

That article is as close as we can get to information about dormant cells, for a long time. They will have to come up with some tests that can tell us the information you’re asking about.
