First Step Towards Switching Off Breast Cancer And Leukaemia, Garvan Institute of Medical Research Study
8/11/2008

The molecule, known as Gab2, operates downstream of a major breast cancer oncogene, HER2, the target of the drug Herceptin.

The finding is published online today in the EMBO Journal.
