A new study published this week in Nature is reshaping the scientific understanding of breast cancer. The findings divide breast cancer into four distinct types and researchers expect the study will lead to treatment innovations.
"This is the road map for how we might cure breast cancer in the future," said Dr. Matthew Ellis, head of breast oncology at Washington University and co-author of the study, in The New York Times.
Ellis will join The Daily Circuit Thursday to discuss the study. Douglas Yee, director of the Masonic Cancer Center at the University of Minnesota, and National Breast Cancer Coalition President Frances Visco, will also join the conversation.
