Cancers du sein : découverte d'un marqueur de risque de métastases
pulmonaires
Des chercheurs français ont identifié un marqueur du risque de
développer des métastases pulmonaires chez les femmes atteintes de
cancers du sein, selon des travaux publiés mardi. En agissant sur ce
marqueur, dénommé "Kindlin-1", les chercheurs espèrent pouvoir bloquer
la prolifération des cellules tumorales et ainsi contenir le pouvoir
agressif des tumeurs à fort risque de dissémination pulmonaire.
