"Healing" Gene Breast Cancer Clue

Genes involved in healing wounds may help predict breast cancer patients' long-term health, scientists hope. US and Dutch researchers found distinct "healing" gene patterns, which they believe could reflect how aggressive a breast tumour is likely to be. But they said more research was needed to see if the find would aid treatment. Cancer charities echoed this caution about the study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
