Researchers develop new genetic model to decode breast cancer metastasis

A team of U.S. researchers has developed a new genetic model for breast cancer, potentially paving the way for better understanding of how and where the disease metastasizes. Professor Eran Andrechek of Michigan State University has been investigating the E2F5 gene and its involvement in breast cancer development. According to Andrechek’s findings, the loss of E2F5 disrupts the regulation of Cyclin D1, a protein associated with metastatic breast tumors after prolonged latency. Published in t...

Researchers shed more light on breast cancer treatment

Researchers at LMU have successfully tested a novel medication that can significantly prolong the lives of patients with breast cancer. Brain metastases are frequently observed in patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer, and those who experience this condition have a low likelihood of surviving the following few years while receiving current treatments like radiotherapy and surgery. A new medication has now been examined in a clinical study by an international team of researchers co...
