Key Protein May Explain Why Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Spreads so Fast

Israeli researchers make breast cancer breakthrough

A team at Ben-Gurion University identified a key protein that enables aggressive cancers to metastasise

Key protein may explain why triple-negative breast cancer spreads so fast

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have identified a protein that plays a central role in enabling aggressive breast cancer cells to spread to other parts of the body. Triple-negative breast cancer remains one of the most challenging diagnoses to receive. While medical advances have improved the ability to surgically remove primary tumors, the true danger lies in metastasis, which is the spread of cancer cells to vital organs like

Scientists Identify Key Protein Driving Aggressive Breast Cancer

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have made a groundbreaking discovery in the fight against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a particularly aggressive and difficult-to-treat form of breast cancer. Their work has identified a crucial protein, protein kinase C-eta (PKC-eta), that plays a central role in enabling the metastatic spread of cancer cells. Metastasis—the process […]
