Some clues to resistance
 

Just read this story in Science Daily. It discusses mutations that may contribute to survival.

Re: Some clues to resistance
 

Thank you, Joan. Very interesting findings from that research:

"When the researchers analysed the same genes among 1,964 breast cancers, they found that this pattern of activity was strongly linked to survival.

Women whose tumours had high F12 activity and low STC2 activity had a 32 per cent chance of dying within 10 years, whereas those with low F12 activity and high STC2 activity had only a 10 per cent chance of dying.

More research is now needed, to establish how these genes could interfere with the extracellular matrix and help cancer cells grow and spread."
