Around 15-20% of breast cancers are classified as “basal-like.” This form of the disease, which generally falls into the triple-negative breast cancer subtype, is particularly aggressive, with early recurrence after treatment and a tendency to quickly spread, or metastasize, to the brain and lungs. The research team led by Prof. Dong Chenfang at the Zhejiang University School of Medicine has discovered that a metabolic enzyme called AKR1B1 drives an aggressive type of breast cancer. The ...
