FRANCE: Scientists have found a mechanism that might help them stop breast cancer from spreading to the bones – a breakthrough that could improve survival rates of thousands of patients each year. And even more excitingly, they’ve also found an existing drug that can stop the metastasis from happening in mice.
The team found that before a tumour spreads, it releases an enzyme that starts breaking down bone tissue and forming holes, essentially preparing them for the arrival of the cancer cells. They now hope that by blocking this enzyme, known as LysYl Oxidase or LOX, they might be able to stop the disease progression in certain patients.
