Why does cancer metastasis (spread) sometimes occur years after a primary tumor has been removed? Julio AguirreGhiso, Ph.D., explains how cancer cells can travel to other parts of the body but lie dormant or “asleep” for years—and discusses his research on how to keep these cells in a sleep state and prevent metastasis from ever happening.

Dr. AguirreGhiso is an expert in the field of cancer dormancy and is the Founding Director of The Cancer Dormancy & Tumor Microenvironment Institute at the Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center.
