Breast Cancer
In association with clinicians at St Vincents and other hospitals we have developed large tissue banks and patient databases that are being used to identify markers of disease subtype, disease progression and response to particular therapies. A major joint project, with the Cell Cycle and Steroid Hormone Action Groups, aims to identify molecular markers of tamoxifen resistance, since loss of response to tamoxifen is a major reason for treatment failure. We are also conducting collaborative studies with other institutions to define the role of newly-discovered breast cancer genes in the disease process.
