Article Synopsis
- Normal tissues adjacent to breast tumors (NATs) may contain early signs of breast cancer development due to a phenomenon called field cancerization.
- A study using advanced genomic techniques on samples from 43 breast cancer patients in Hong Kong revealed that NATs often had single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in driver genes also found in tumor samples, but rarely had large-scale genomic changes.
- The researchers identified different evolutionary patterns among NAT and tumor pairs, indicating distinct genomic characteristics and the influence of the tumor microenvironment on cancer development.
Having viable alternative transportation options could help individuals stop driving when appropriate. This study employs the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) to understand the barriers and facilitators of alternative transportation among a sample of adults aged 55 and older ( = 32). Using a daily transportation data collection app, , the research team asked participants questions structured around environmental, individual, and behavioral factors as outlined in the SCT framework.
