Scientists uncover details of genetic events that cause breast cancer
03 May, London
UK Scientists say they now have a near perfect picture of the genetic events that cause breast cancer. The largest study of its kind resolved practically all the errors that cause healthy breast tissue to go rogue.
To understand the causes of the disease, scientists have to understand what goes wrong in the DNA that makes healthy tissue turn cancerous.
The study, published in Nature, has been described as a milestone moment that could help find new ways of treating and preventing the breast cancer.
