Some loose breast cancer cells are more likely to prosper in bone tissue due to the genes that they express, a team of researchers at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) has discovered. The team also found that whether or not cancer cells turn on those genes depends on what their surroundings were like in the primary breast tumor. If the breast tumor had molecular patterns similar to those found in bone, the tumor is more likely to spread to bone later. "It''s ...Sunday, 1 September 2013
Research Indicates Some Breast Cancer Cells Are Primed to Thrive
