Brief description Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among females, affecting 1 in 9 women before the age of 85. Normally cells divide only when they receive a stimulus from a hormone or growth factor. The PI3K pathway which responds to these stimuli has been implicated in cancer where cells divide uncontrollably and invade surrounding tissue. We have identified a potential cancer suppressing gene, PIPP, which turns off PI3K growth signals. We aim to characterize the role of PIPP in breast cancer.
