Cancer is brought on by genetic changes in a cell, and as time passes, the tumour develops into a patchwork of cancer clonal groupings of cells. These clones have now been analysed by researchers utilising modern equipment, including those from Stockholm University. According to Mats Nilsson, a researcher at Stockholm University, “now, for the first time, we have been able to map the distribution of such clones in detail by seeing dozens of these mutations in tissue slices from a group of breast cancer tumours.” Clone behaviour varies The… Read More »How The Cancer Spreads Depends On Where It Is In The Breast
