Researchers decipher the mechanism by which the MAF protein promotes breast cancer metastasis

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women, with more than 2 million new cases diagnosed each year. In cases where the tumor remains localized in the breast, survival rates are remarkably high, at around 90%. However, the spread of cancer cells beyond breast tissue and the formation of metastases in other organs dramatically worsens the prognosis and poses significant challenges.
