Genes New Women Breast Cancer

Four new genes associated with breast cancer that may help identify women increased risk of the disease have been identified. However, these only explain a minority of the genetic risk.

Scientists hope to be able to test for the new genetic variants in order to inform preventative approaches and treatment for women who may be at a higher risk of breast cancer.

Researchers are in the process of developing a new gene therapy technique that could be used alongside chemotherapy to treat early-stage breast cancer tumours before they spread.

MIT scientists have developed a new gene therapy technique that can stop the spread of malignant cells around the body - the leading cause of mortality in women with breast cancer.

Adopting healthy lifestyle can significantly help women with a high risk of developing breast cancer in mitigating the perils involved with genes and family history, new research led by an Indian-origin scientist suggests.
