FGFR2‐RUNX2 activation: An unexplored therapeutic pathway in luminal breast cancer related to tumor progression
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "International Journal of Cancer"
DOI: 10.1002/ijc.35302
Abstract: Overcoming luminal breast cancer (BrCa) progression remains a critical challenge for improved overall patient survival. RUNX2 has emerged as a protein related to aggressiveness in triple‐negative BrCa, however its role in luminal tumors remains elusive.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00066-020-01726-5
Abstract: Hintergrund Breast-Cancer(BRCA)-Keimbahnmutationen stellen für junge Frauen besondere reproduktive Herausforderungen dar. Eine Schwangerschaft nach Brustkrebs erhöht zwar das Rückfallrisiko nicht; allerdings liegen nur sehr begrenzt Daten von Schwangerschaften bei Patientinnen mit BRCA-Mutationen vor. Die Studie untersuchte… read more here.
