%0 Journal Article %T Dormant tumour cells, their niches and the influence of immunity %J - %D 2018 %R https://doi.org/10.1038/s41556-018-0214-0 %X Despite increased focus on the clinical relevance of dormant metastatic disease, our understanding of dormant niches, mechanisms underlying emergence from dormancy, and the immune system¡¯s role in this phenomenon, remains in its infancy. Here, we discuss key work that has shaped our current understanding of these topics. Because tumour dormancy provides a unique therapeutic window to prevent metastatic disease, we discuss on-going clinical trials and weigh the potential for immunotherapy to eradicate dormant disease %U https://www.nature.com/articles/s41556-018-0214-0
