Mechanical Forces Driving Breast Cancer Lead to New Discovery

The stiffening of breast tissue in breast-cancer development points to a new way to distinguish a type of breast cancer with a poor prognosis from a related, but often less deadly type. UC San Francisco researchers have found this in a new study. The findings, published online March 16, 2014 in iNature Medicine/i, may lead eventually to new treatment focused not only on molecular targets within cancerous cells, but also on mechanical properties of surrounding ...
