Researchers have identified a molecular interaction that triggers a very aggressive form of breast cancer.
Researchers have pinpointed the chemistry behind the development of a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer.
The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute team hope the discovery could lead to new, more effective drugs.
The complex chain of molecular interactions they have uncovered occurs in about 10% of breast cancers - including the deadliest ones.
The research appears in the journal Cancer Cell.
