Brief description The mechanisms of breast cancer spread to bone are largely unknown. We have found that cross-talk between tumour cells and the immune system exists to induce anti-tumour immune responses. By decreasing the release of proteins known to activate immune responses (type I interferons), tumour cells can hide from such responses and spread to tissues such as bone. We aim to identify the immune responses activated by type I IFN and if restoration of these pathways can block breast cancer spread to bone.
