Scientists have revealed a 'near-complete' picture of breast cancer for the first time, after completing a project of stunning scale and scope. They have gained this unique insight into the life of the disease after sequencing the entire genomes of 21 breast cancers - and looked at every single fault which helped those tumours develop. The results are published in two papers in the prestigious Cell journal.
Scientists have found nine new genes which drive the development of breast cancer, in a major study funded by the Wellcome Trust and Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
