The British charity Cancer Research UK has patented a new form of gene therapy it says has the potential to block the dissemination of breast carcinoma cells.
“One of the most distinctive features of a cancer cell is its ability to respond to chemical signals and begin to move through the tissues surrounding it,” said lead researcher Dr. Tony Ng, of the Richard Dimbleby/Cancer Research UK Department of Cancer Research at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London. “Blocking the ability of cancer cells to follow instructions to move may be an effective way of preventing the disease from spreading.”
