Prostate cancer goes dormant, What really happens?

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.

Various cancers appear to be defeated only to resurface at distant site 10 years later. This article addresses those cases. An intact immune system is vital & we see cancers develop in immunosuppressed like AIDS, alcoholics, diseases, abing etc. Everyone should strive to maximize their immune system by limiting bad habits, diet, exercise & lower stress. Genomic tumor score could be vital even for early primary tumor removal.

Thank you for alerting me to this article. It was great to read that research into cancer stem cells is moving forward. For a while now, I have been reading about the ability of Turkey Tail mushrooms to cause the death of prostate cancer stem cells. I have felt that western modern medicine has been slow to recognize mushroom medicine's ability to work with modern medicine (surgery and radiation) to reduce the reoccurrence of various cancers (prostate, breast, colorectal and a few others). Here's an article that set me thinking along these lines:
