Abstract:SummaryBreast cancer mortality results primarily from incurable recurrent tumors seeded by dormant, therapy-refractory residual tumor cells (RTCs). Understanding the mechanisms enabling dormant RTC survival is therefore essential for improving patient outcomes. We derived a dormancy-associated RTC signature that mirrors the transcriptional response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients and is enriched for extracellular matrix-related pathways. In vivo CRISPR-Cas9 screening of dormancy-associated candidate ge… Show more
