Novel Technique Switches "Triple-Negative" Breast Cancer Cells To More Treatable, Hormone-Receptor Positive Cells

Within many hormone-receptor positive breast cancers lives a subpopulation of receptor-negative cells - knock down the hormone-receptor positive cells with anti-estrogen drugs and you may inadvertently promote tumor takeover by more dangerous, receptor-negative cells. A study recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences describes how to switch these receptor-negative cells back to a state that can be targeted by existing hormone therapies...
