A theoretical physicist’s approach to breast cancer

Andrea Alfano — Fri, 21 Oct 2016 20:56:11 +0000

Ideas borrowed from physics could help scientists improve treatments for breast cancer. Associate Professor Mickey Atwal explains in this guest blog post. reast cancer is more than a group of rogue cells. They exist within an intricate battleground inside patients, which scientists call the “microenvironment.” This consists not only of the wayward tumor cells themselves but also...
