Invasive Breast Cancer

Invasive breast cancer is a complex and multifaceted disease that continues to pose significant challenges in the field of oncology. Characterized by the infiltration of malignant cells beyond the myoepithelial and basement membrane layers, invasive breast cancer allows these cells to invade the surrounding breast stroma. At Alfa Cytology, our team of experienced biologists work with you to develop breast cancer therapeutics.

Introduction to Invasive Breast Cancer

Invasive breast cancer remains a significant public health concern, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases and 684,000 deaths worldwide in 2020. The incidence and mortality rates vary across different regions, with developed countries generally reporting higher incidence but lower mortality compared to developing countries. In the United States, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with an estimated 284,200 new cases and 44,130 deaths in 2021. As the complexity and heterogeneity of invasive breast cancer continue to pose significant challenges in the field of oncology, the development of targeted therapeutic molecules has become increasingly crucial.

Clinical Trials for Invasive Breast Cancer

Invasive breast cancer encompasses a diverse spectrum of subtypes, each with its own distinct molecular signatures and clinical characteristics. This heterogeneity poses a significant challenge, as it requires a tailored approach to treatment. Researchers are actively involved in several clinical trials exploring innovative approaches to the treatment of invasive breast cancer.
