Identification Of 5 Genes Involved In The Metastasis Of Breast Tumors To The Lung

Scientists have identified five genes involve in the metastasis of breast tumors to the lung. Of the five genes identified, the Tenascina-C gene seems to be a good therapeutic target for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. In fact, the blocking of the expression of this gene in the animal model enabled a significant reduction, both in tumour growth and in the incidence of pulmonary metastasis.
