It is known that cancer cells initiate adaptation mechanisms to adapt tightly regulated cellular processes to non-optimal growth environments; Recent investigations have begun to elucidate the contribution of these mechanisms to malignant progression, with intriguing studies now defining cellular stress as a key contributor to the development and maintenance of cancer dormancy. This review will focus on our current understanding of stress responses facilitating malignant cell adaptation and metabolic reprogramming to establish cancer dormancy. 收起
