By inhibiting this specific gene, though, the team found that the metastasis of breast cancer cells to distant organs significantly decreases.
With this illuminating discovery, the researchers are hopeful that the OR5B21 gene could be a strong target for future preventative therapies and treatments.
“Our hope is that using OR5B21 as a target for adjuvant therapy could help fill a huge unmet medical need by preventing breast cancer metastasis to the brain and other organs– and thus, prolong survival of patients,” said Bakhos Tannous, the study’s senior author.
