Breast cancer study by UCR medical student could help patients live longer

(University of California - Riverside) A student at the University of California, Riverside, presented research results at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, or AACR, in Atlanta showing that surgery is associated with higher survival rates for patients with HER2-positive stage 4 breast cancer compared with those who did not undergo surgery. The protein HER2, or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, can play a role in the development of breast cancer.
