Mechanisms of the proliferation of breast cancer

Two pairs of closely related small particles can be used to predict the proliferation of breast cancer will occur. Experts believe that this new testing method will not only enable many women no longer need to accept those unnecessary chemotherapy, but also may lead to the emergence of new therapies. Georgetown University Lombardi Cancer Research Center Robert Dickson, MD, and so on 330 patients with breast cancer samples were examined during the removal of these tumors have not spread to the lymph nodes. The experts use a number of new technologies on the sample molecules with the cancer-related inspections and with the patient 30 years after the danger of the proliferation of cancer did occur were compared. The results showed that the proliferation of breast cancer will occur with one of the two kinds of molecules relevant: a pair of enzyme matriptase and protein HAI-1, which can protect cells from this dangerous attack on the enzyme; the other pair is the growth factors HGF and with The combination of cellular protein c-Met. The experts will liken its mechanism is: c-Met is the trigger the proliferation of breast cancer, switching, HGF is a toggle of the switch fingers, but its role would normally be some kind of molecular ‘gloves’ are cut off, while the matriptase enzyme is able to In the ‘glove’ on Chuochu a hole, so that your fingers can reach out and toggle switch.
