MicroRNAs Predict Likelihood of Breast Cancer Metastasis

The discovery that breast cancer patients who experienced quick relapses tended to have low levels of the microRNA miR-21 and high levels of the microRNA miR-205 in their tumor tissues suggests that measurement of these two biomarkers could identify women at risk of metastasis.  More...
