A new development may greatly optimize chemotherapy treatment and prevent the development of cancerous metastases in breast cancer

The researchers were able to reduce the risk of developing cancer metastases following the treatment from 52% to only 6% in model animals
The chemotherapy treatment increases the secretion of LOX from T cells, and as a result the extracellular environment in the lungs changes in a way that encourages the formation of metastases. Photo: Technion spokespeople

The distribution of attention of blood vessels

The scientists of the institute discovered that the blood vessels "separate" between cell division and branching in new directions. The findings imply that chemotherapy treatments may encourage the growth of blood vessels in the tumor

The graph shows the levels of neutrophils in three patients suffering from neutropenia. With the help of drug therapy, the patient with the "strong" neutrophils (P1) is able to overcome the infection. In contrast, the patient with the "weak" neutrophils (P4) cannot overcome even a mild bacterial infection originating from the intestines.
