Breast cancer survivorship encompasses the journey of individuals who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Survivors often face ongoing challenges affecting different areas of their life.  Support systems play a crucial role in helping survivors cope and thrive. Additionally, advancements in early detection and treatment have significantly improved survival rates, allowing many individuals to lead fulfilling lives post-diagnosis. Overall, survivorship emphasizes resilience, empowerment, and the importance of comprehensive care tailored to the unique needs of each survivor.

ABYLSEN | WONDER | Pink October -  How did Emeline turn cancer into a cause?

Being diagnosed with cancer at an older age often comes with different challenges and perspectives compared to a diagnosis at a younger age.  For older adults, the diagnosis may prompt reflections on a lifetime of experiences and achievements, but it can also raise concerns about managing existing health conditions and treatment side effects. Conversely, a cancer diagnosis in younger individuals can disrupt critical life milestones, such as education, career, and family planning, often leading to feelings of uncertainty and fear about the future.  Both age groups face unique emotional and practical hurdles, highlighting the importance of tailored support and resources throughout their journeys.

Breast Cancer & Age 10-26-24

BUFFALO, NY- October 30, 2024 – A new #research paper was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on October 11, 2024, entitled “Initiation of tumor dormancy by the lymphovascular embolus.”

Researchers Yin Ye, Justin Wang, Michael G. Izban, Billy R. Ballard, and Sanford H. Barsky from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN, and Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego, CA, uncovered critical mechanisms that lead to tumor dormancy in breast cancer. This study sheds light on how certain cancer cells can remain dormant for years before potentially reawakening as metastatic tumors.

Using breast cancer patient-derived organoids and tumor samples, the research team discovered that tumor dormancy in breast cancer can be triggered by specific signaling changes within small cell clusters, called tumor emboli, which detach from the primary tumor and travel through the bloodstream. These emboli can remain inactive, sometimes for years, before reawakening in other parts of the body. Key changes include reduced activity of mTOR, a metabolic regulator, and structural shifts in E-cadherin, a molecule involved in cell adhesion. This study also suggests these changes are regulated by the PI3K pathway and occur within the unique three-dimensional structure of tumor spheroids, shedding light on the interactions within dormant cell clusters.

As a conclusion, this work not only identifies mTOR and E-cadherin as key components in maintaining dormancy but also offers a promising roadmap for future therapies. By targeting these pathways, there may be potential to keep cancer cells in a dormant state, reducing the risk of late-stage recurrence and improving patient outcomes.

Cancer dormancy is a phenomenon in which, after treatment, residual cancer cells remain inactive in the body for months or even years. During this time, patients often show no signs of the disease. These dormant cells can unpredictably reawaken, leading to tumor recurrence—a significant challenge in cancer treatment. Despite progress in cancer research, the factors that control dormancy and subsequent reactivation remain poorly understood. Identifying these factors and understanding how cancer cells dormancy and reactivation occur could be crucial to preventing cancer recurrence. 

This question was the focus of a recent study titled “Initiation of Tumor Dormancy by the Lymphovascular Embolus,” published in Oncotarget Volume 15, on October 11, 2024. In this blog, we will look at the key findings and implications of this important work.
