(SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST) — Scientific researchers have suggested that most forms of breast cancer may be prevented by taking a type of drug already on the market.
An international team of scientists have discovered that blocking a mechanism that controls the growth of young cells can virtually remove the chance of getting nearly all types of breast cancer, including those caused by genetic mutations.
One drug on the market called Denosumab is already known to block the pathway, called rankl/rank, and is sold as a treatment for bone diseases.
