UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center has been awarded up to $28 million by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health to lead the development of a next-generation clinical trial for breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
Common respiratory infections, including COVID-19 and influenza, can awaken dormant breast cancer cells that have spread to the lungs, setting the stage for new metastatic tumors, according to a preclinical study by researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Utrecht University.
