Scientists find breast cancer cells hiding behind protective shields
Researchers have mapped breast tumors in striking detail and uncovered hidden pockets of dormant cancer cells that may help explain why cancer can return after treatment.

Dormant breast cancer cells can survive chemotherapy and later reactivate, potentially driving relapse; understanding their protected niches may guide therapies that target both proliferative and dormant tumor compartments.
