Cancer Cell Dormancy: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)

This volume provides protocols and techniques to study metastatic dormant cells. Chapters focus on in vitro systems to model metastatic dormancy in vitro, detection of disseminated tumor cells in vivo, perturbation of key molecules involved in metastatic dormancy,  and clinical features of delayed metastatic relapses of specific tumor types. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Cancer Cell Dormancy: Methods and Protocols aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
