Tumour dormancy: not so sleepy after all

Cliff Murray1

1Laboratory of Molecular Oncology, CRC Department of Clinical Oncology, City Hospital, Nottingham NG5 1PB, UK

Removal of a primary tumour can result in a burst of growth in previously 'dormant' micrometastases and is associated with onset of angiogenesis and a reduced incidence of apoptosis (see pages 149−153)
