YSU biologists study cancer cells that 'hide' in bone marrow and later cause new tumor sites After chemotherapy, cancer cells may "hide", particularly in the bone marrow. Under certain stimuli, they may re-enter the bloodstream years later, giving rise to new cancerous sites. For example, if a patient has had breast cancer, disease recurrence is possible. Presenting this issue, Nikolay Avtandilyan, Head of the Basic and Pathological Biochemistry Laboratory at YSU, emphasizes that the university's biologists are working to understand why these cells "migrate" to the bone marrow, which factors enable them to "hide", and what later causes the disease to reemerge with renewed intensity.
