Breast Tumorigenesis

Breast cancer cells have receptors for estrogen, progesterone, HER2 receptors (also called ERBB2). Triple-negative breast cancers do not have any of these receptors. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to triple-negative breast cancers.

Mutations involving BRCA1, found on chromosome 17, and BRCA2, found on chromosome 13, increase the risk for specific cancers, such as breast cancer. Discover the last research on breast cancer BRCA1 and BRCA2 here.

Some cancers are difficult to treat and aggressive including the "triple-negative" breast cancer. This type of cancer is chemoresistant even before chemotherapy begins. Here are the latest discoveries chemo-resistance in breast cancer.

Breast cancer is a multifactorial disease that is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. Discover the latest research on the environmental and genetic risk factors for breast cancer here.

Several different therapeutic approaches are used to treat breast cancer. These include chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, targeted therapy, and Immunotherapy. Discover the latest research on breast cancer therapeutic approaches here.

Invasive breast cancers indicate a spread into breast tissues and lymph nodes. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to breast invasive carcinomas.

Lobular carcinoma is an invasive type of breast cancer in which lobules, areas of the breast that produce milk, undergo malignant transformation. Here is the latest research.

Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer due to mutations in the brca1 and brca2 genes is the most common cause of hereditary forms of both breast and ovarian cancer. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to these cancers.

Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare disease characterized by edema and redness of the breast. This is caused by metastatic breast cancer cells blocking lymphatic vessels. Discover the latest research on Inflammatory breast cancer here.
