This model could be used to test new anticancer drugs capable of inhibiting the spread of IBC tumors. "The tumor ...

SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Adding the drug trastuzumab to chemotherapy prevents cancer recurrence and improves survival in a large number of women with early stage HER2-positive breast cancer.

This situation may soon change, according to a Mayo Clinic study being presented at the 2012 CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. VIDEO ALERT: Video of Dr. Perez is available on the Mayo Clinic News Network. A team ...
