Actually, they are called dormant cells. They are sent out throughout the body before the prostate cancer is even detected. There is no known way to find them, though it’s being worked on. If there’s a lot of stress on the body, they can become active and cause the cancer to come back.

@jeffmarc Dormant vs indolent. I appreciate the clarification. Thanks.
