Osteoporosis is a growing concern among breast cancer survivors and their doctors, because certain cancer drugs can cause bone loss. But a new study has found that cancer drugs aren't the only culprits.

Dangerous 'Two-Faced' Protein Crucial To Breast Cancer Spread And Growth Identified By Mayo Researchers
Source: Breast Cancer News From Medical News Today [2008.11.18]
Two critical properties of cancer cells are their ability to divide without restraint and to spread away from the primary tumor to establish new tumor sites. Now, researchers from the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida have found a protein they say acts as a deadly master switch, both freeing cancer cells from a tumor while ramping up new growth. This is potentially good news, say the researchers, who published their study in the Nov. 17 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology.

An intra cellular pathway not previously linked to breast cancer is driving a sub-type of the disease that is highly lethal and disproportionately over-represented in African American women.
