In a study using a first-of-its-kind mouse model of aging that mimics breast cancer development in estrogen receptor-positive postmenopausal women, investigators at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center and colleagues have determined that over-expression, or switching on of the Esr1 gene could lead to elevated risk of developing estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer in older women. |
