New Study Uncovers Genetic Link to Aggressive Breast Cancer

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have made a significant discovery in the fight against aggressive breast cancer. In a recent study published in the journal Nature, the team found that a specific genetic mutation is associated with the development of triple-negative breast cancer, a type of breast cancer that is known to be particularly aggressive.

New Imaging Technique Holds Promise for Early Detection of Cancer

A new imaging technique developed by scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has shown promise for early detection of cancer. The technique, known as "optical coherence tomography," uses light waves to create high-resolution images of tissues and cells. Researchers believe that this non-invasive technique could lead to earlier detection and more effective treatment of cancer.
