Research shows cell's inactive state is critical for effectiveness of cancer treatment
The basic thrust of the story is that research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center has uncovered a possible pathway toward maintaining a cell's quiescence.
Why is that important?
Quiescence is a state that allows bone marrow cells to escape the lethal effects of standard cancer treatments.
Sounds like a leg up to me.
It also sounds like I have more reading and thinking to do.

That's an amazing advance. (If you weren't on the fence, it would mean you weren't paying attention.) I hope you can avoid standard cancer treatment.
Can you get a phone consult with a doctor researching quiescence?
