Signals found that recruit host animals' cells, enabling breast cancer metastasis

Chemical signals that certain breast cancers use to recruit two types of normal cells needed for the cancers’ spread have been discovered in mice, researchers report. "If a drug can be found that safely blocks the same signal in humans, it could be a very useful addition to current breast cancer treatment -- particularly for patients with chemotherapy-resistant tumors," says one researcher.
