Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in Australia. Cancer cells are able to spread to other sites in the body by a process known as metastasis which is the leading cause of breast cancer death. We have identified a gene which controls breast cancer metastasis and thereby may affect disease outcome. This grant aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which this gene regulates breast cancer metastasis.

澳大利亚八分之一的女性患有乳腺癌。癌细胞能够通过称为转移的过程扩散到身体的其他部位，这是乳腺癌死亡的主要原因。我们已经鉴定出一种控制乳腺癌转移的基因，从而可能影响疾病的结果。该资助旨在阐明该基因调节乳腺癌转移的机制。
