A chemical reaction in genes that control breast cancer provides a molecular clock that could one day help researchers more accurately determine a woman's risk for developing breast cancer and provide a new approach for treatment, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. In a study published in the May 14 issue of Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention, scientists from UT Southwestern show that the chemical process called methylation, is strongly correlated with breast-cancer.
