From: insideprecisionmedicine.com Scientists from King’s College London have made a significant breakthrough in the treatment of aggressive breast cancer by developing a tailored drug that exploits the cancer cells’ weaknesses. This innovative approach, published in Clinical Cancer Research and funded by Breast Cancer Now, offers new hope for patients with triple-negative breast cancer, a particularly challenging form of the disease. …
Treatment of aggressive breast cancer: Discovery of a new protein involved in the development of metastases
By: CNRS From: medicalxpress.com A protein found abundantly in breast cancers that are refractory to conventional treatments is thought to cause the development of metastasis. Targeting it would prevent metastatic spread and therefore increase patients’ survival. These are the findings of a study conducted by a French-American team and led by a biologist at CNRS. The study, the results of …
Investigators identify potential new targets to overcome treatment resistance in aggressive breast cancer
By: Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center From: medicalxpress.com Researchers with the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and collaborators have shown that immature natural killer (NK) cells are present in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and likely promote, instead of inhibit, disease progression in this cancer type. Their study, featured March 8 in …
Sylvester Cancer Investigators Identify Potential New Targets to Overcome Treatment Resistance in Aggressive Breast Cancer
Sylvester Cancer Investigators Identify Potential New Targets to Overcome Treatment Resistance in Aggressive Breast Cancer Their study, featured March 8 in Science Translational Medicine, could help clinicians combat treatment resistance in TNBC, one of the most aggressive breast tumors, by identifying certain NK cells as potential therapeutic targets. NK cells are generally considered an effective contributor to anti-tumor immune responses. …
Research group uncovers novel mechanism that regulates breast cancer metastases
Source: University of Turku From: news-medical.net A research group at the University of Turku, Finland, has discovered a completely new mechanism that cells use to circulate integrins on the cell surface. Aggressive breast cancer cells exploit this mechanism to spread and metastasise to other parts of the body. Researchers have known for decades that human cells migrate by circulating cell …
