 | | |  Targeting the Estrogen Receptor in Breast Cancer
Estrogen is commonly referred to as a sex hormone due to its key role in the development of secondary sex characteristics and the regulation of the female reproductive system. However, its effects are much more wide-reaching, impacting the immune and cardiovascular systems, bone density and metabolic processes.

| | | | |  University of Alberta researchers have added a new genetic marker to the breast cancer map, helping to expand the list of genetic mutations clinicians can watch for in cancer screenings. | | | | |  According to the Mayo Clinic, about 20% of breast cancers make abnormally high levels of a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). | | | | |  A new study published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, shows that women of color and young women may face elevated risks of developing triple-negative breast cancers, which are often aggressive and do not respond to hormone therapy or targeted therapy. | | | | |  A new program led by The University of Kansas Cancer Center seeks to improve community oncology providers' knowledge of genetic testing in breast cancer patients, as well as provide tools to allow genetic counseling and testing to be incorporated in their clinical practice. | | | | |  The ability to control key forces that drive biological functioning would be a boon for a number of medical fields. With a focus on breast cancer, an EU-funded project is bringing together different research communities to work towards understanding and controlling cellular mechanics. | | | | |  University of California, Irvine researchers will lead an unprecedented national effort to document the intricate cell types and states in breast tissue that underlie cancer. | |
