The newspaper “La Opinión de Zamora” has published an article devoted to breast cancer, one of the tumours most widely diagnosed in women in Spain and one of the most lethal.
The newspaper is organising a conference on breast cancer on 18 October, to which Angel R. Nebreda, ICREA researcher at IRBBarcelona, has been invited. The scientist will explain the breakthroughs achieved in basic research that can contribute to personalised treatments. Recently, Nebreda’s lab published a paper in the journal Cancer Cell reporting on a mechanism that prevents tumour cells from dying and on potential new therapeutic targets to deactivate this mechanism.
