Over the years, cancer has remained one of the greatest threats to human health. Despite many discoveries and much progress in the areas of clinical care and of cancer biology, key gaps in our knowledge of this disease remain to be addressed. Among the many phenomena that occur during the development of cancer, none might be more important to understand than the process, termed metastasis, by which cancer spreads from its tissue of origin to grow elsewhere in the body. Writing in Nature, Diamantopoulou et al.1 present results that show how the aggressiveness of cancer spread can change during sleep.
