Brief description Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in Australia. Cancer cells are able to spread to other sites in the body by a process known as metastasis which is the leading cause of breast cancer death. We have identified a gene which controls breast cancer growth and metastasis. This grant aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which this gene co-operates with another gene to regulate breast cancer growth and metastasis which thereby may affect disease outcome.
