Researchers from The Institute of Cancer Research in London found the hormone treatment used to prevent breast cancer from returning causes cells to 'hibernate' instead of dying off.
Scientists found hormone treatment causes some breast cancer cells to 'sleep'. READ MORE:Scientists have discovered how breast cancer cells hibernate to evade treatment before 'waking up' years later.
Professor Luca Magnani, of the Institute of Cancer Research, London, said they wanted to understand why endocrine therapy was not successful for all patients. Oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer is sensitive to the hormone oestrogen, which can assist cancerous cells to divide and grow. Dr Tayyaba Jiwani, science engagement manager at Cancer Research UK - which funded the research, said: 'Our research has made it increasingly clear that cancer cells can lie dormant in the body for many years before being triggered to reawaken, causing cancer to return.
'Breast Cancer Now has recently committed to funding up to £1million of research into dormancy, and we hope that the findings from that research, alongside those published today, will help ensure people who have been treated for breast cancer are able to live happy, healthy lives without fear of the disease coming back.'
