Breast cancer is known as one of the most deadly diseases among women. However, Recent advancements in the imagng tools and diagnostic methods for breast cancer has improved the screening in the past few years. There are many breakthroughs that have been made in the area of cellular and molecular studies in breast cancer research. Research on molecular biomarkers has also gained momentum in recent times.

Molecular biology of breast cancer
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have defined a cancer invasion machinery, which is orchestrated by a frequently mutated cancer gene called Ras. When signaling from Ras protein becomes abnormally high, like it does in many cancers, this switches on the cellular machinery that helps the cancer cells to depart from the tissue from which the cells have developed. It has been unclear how the cancer invasion machinery works exactly, until now, as the study finds Ras in the role of Friar Lawrence in Shakespeare's famous play, "Get me an iron crow and bring it straight unto my cell Romeo and Juliet, 5. The new study has been published today at Cancer Research , a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. The tumor cells only become life-threatening cancer cells, when they acquire the capability to spread into surrounding healthy tissues through a process called invasion.
