Identifying and exploiting novel pharmacological targets for breast cancer

乳腺癌是由不同类型的癌细胞组成的，并不是所有的细胞都有相同的贡献。一组癌细胞可能独特地能够驱动肿瘤生长，在治疗后重建致命的肿瘤，并在远处建立新的肿瘤。识别和利用调控这些细胞活动和生存的途径将带来更好的治疗模式，并为乳腺癌患者走向一个无复发的未来。

Breast cancers are made up of different types of cancer cells, and not all cells contribute equally. A subset of cancer cells may be uniquely capable of driving tumor growth, rebuilding fatal tumors after therapy and establishing new tumors at distant sites. Identifying and exploiting the pathways that regulate the activity and survival of these cells will lead to better modes of treatment, and move towards a relapse-free future for breast cancer patients.
