Breast cancer study links tumor epigenetic variation to relapse risk
A Nature study found a recurring epigenetic pattern in breast tumors that researchers said may help identify patients at increased risk of relapse.
Researchers reported in Nature that single-cell epigenetic analyses of breast tumors identified a recurring pattern across patients.
The researchers said the finding may help identify people at increased risk of relapse. The study reports an association and does not establish a new diagnostic test or treatment.
