Good News - Princeton scientists discover mechanism involved in breast cancer's spread to bone

Good Cancer News from Princeton. Princeton University research team has unraveled a mystery about how these tumors take root. They have come up with the following.
One first has to understand that Cancer cells often travel throughout the body and cause new tumors in individuals with advanced breast cancer; a process called metastasis commonly resulting in malignant bone tumors.
Discover - The Good Cancer News
What the Princeton research has uncovered is the exact mechanism that lets the traveling tumor cells disrupt normal bone growth. By zeroing in on the molecules involved, and particularly a protein called "Jagged1" that sends destructive signals to cells, the research team has opened the door to drug therapies that could block this disruptive process. Doctors at other medical centers who have reviewed the research have found it promising.
