Cancerous lumps include
the different types of breast cancer.
Scientists at the ICR - a research institute and charity - studied DNA loops in cells from four
different types of breast cancer and normal, healthy cells to find out which genes were consistently involved in looping interactions.
The timing of relapse depends on the type of breast cancer (e.g. hormone receptor positive, hormone receptor negative, HER2 positive) and often
these different types of breast cancer have different patterns of relapse.
There are
different types of breast cancer, with different stages (spread), aggressiveness, and genetic makeup.
