Abstract

SUMMARY: Disease recurrence is the most common cause of death for patients with breast cancer, yet little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this process. Using inducible transgenic mouse model systems, Feng and colleagues identified SPSB1 as a determinant of breast cancer recurrence by virtue of its ability to protect tumor cells from apoptosis through c-MET activation.
