While some of our candidate genes constitute (universal) oncogenes (e.g. KRAS and PIK3CA), the roles of these genes can be understood only by considering the context of DDR defects.
The highly pleiotropic nature of the TGF-β signaling pathway creates significant hurdles that must be overcome before the complex roles of this pathway in tumorigenesis can be understood and therapeutically exploited in breast cancer.
English with a French accent might lend authenticity to the role, but only if all the words can be understood, and about one in five requires strenuous listening -- or the ability to rewind.
