An investigation into the role of 3’UTR dynamics in breast cancer metastasis

基础研究给癌症的诊断和治疗带来了许多改进。三阴性乳腺癌是一个例外。目前还没有针对性的治疗方法，因此化疗、手术和放射治疗的组合是唯一的选择。对于2/3的女性来说，这种方法效果很好，存活率很高，但对于那些没有反应的女性来说，预后很差。这项研究旨在揭示阻止此类肿瘤扩散的治疗机会。

Basic research has brought many improvements to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. An exception are the triple negative breast cancers. No targeted therapies yet exist, and thus a combination of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation therapy is the only option. For 2/3rds of women this works well and survivor rates are high, but the prognosis is poor for those that do not respond. This research aims to reveal therapeutic opportunities to block the potential of such tumours to spread.
