Researchers at Georgetown’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a mechanism that may help explain a key reason why older people experience worse outcomes from breast cancer. The study implicates RAGE (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products), a cell surface receptor that amplifies inflammatory signaling, and which also becomes increasingly active with metastatic progression. “Our study addresses a major gap by showing that aging dramatically increases breast cancer metastasis, and that this effect depends on RAGE, a receptor on the surface of cells that fuels inflammation,” says Barry Hudson, PhD, associate professor of oncology at Georgetown Lombardi and corresponding author for this article. The finding appeared in the Nature journal Communications Biology. Learn more: https://lombardi.georgetown.edu/news-release/study-reveals-why-breast-cancer-becomes-more-deadly-with-age/
