BC Cancer Agency scientists make internationally significant discovery, mapping the evolution of breast cancer ‘avatars’

BC Cancer Agency scientists make internationally significant discovery, mapping the evolution of breast cancer ‘avatars’

December 1, 2014

Vancouver – A just-published paper in the prestigious journal Nature highlights how researchers at the BC Cancer Agency are using human breast cancer ‘avatars’ — models of human breast cancers — to measure how complex cancers develop and change over time. The research is unprecedented because it uses single cancer cells to expose how breast […]
