Mesenchymal stem cells — cells that can give rise to many cell types and travel to tumor sites — can reduce the capacity of breast cancer cells to spread to ... Read more
Breast cancer surgery with negative or clear margins, which leaves no signs of cancer behind, stimulates a protective anticancer immune response that reduces the risk of cancer spread to other regions ... Read more
Screening a woman’s breast cancer for certain genetic and molecular patterns may be used to predict the risk of the cancer returning (relapsing) up to 20 years later, a study ... Read more
Women diagnosed with breast cancer up to 10 years after giving birth have a higher risk of metastasis than childless women of the same age, a study says. The study, ... Read more
CrownBio has established an agreement with the University of Utah to acquire and commercialize the university’s unique collection of patient-derived mouse models of breast cancer. The models were developed by ... Read more
A newly developed online prognostic tool can determine whether a woman is at high risk of cancer recurrence or spread after receiving the standard five years of hormone therapy, and ... Read more
Some types of breast cancers can prevent the development of secondary tumors elsewhere in the body, a process known as metastasis, through an immune-mediated inflammatory mechanism, an international research team ... Read more
A cell layer lining breast milk ducts called the myoepithelium plays an active and dynamic role in constraining cancer cells and preventing invasive breast cancer, a study shows. The study, ... Read more
A new immunotherapy method that targets a patient’s tumor cell mutations led to a complete and lasting regression of breast cancer in a woman who had failed all other treatments, a ... Read more
When tumor cells become too densely packed, they start developing blood vessel-like structures — an early step in the process of cancer metastasis, researchers at the University of California, San Diego ... Read more
