Abstract: Tumor dormancy is a phase of occurrence and progress of cancer. In recent years, with the further study of circulating tumor cells, disseminated tumor cells and cancer stem cells, it is found that they are closely related to the tumor dormancy. Moreover, tumor microenvironment is another important factor in tumor dormancy.
