METABRIC Study

The METABRIC study (Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium) is a large research project that analyzed the genes of breast cancer tumors from thousands of patients. By examining genetic differences, scientists identified distinct subtypes of breast cancer, helping to understand why some cancers respond differently to treatment. This research aims to improve diagnosis, personalize therapies, and predict outcomes more accurately, ultimately enhancing patient care by tailoring treatment strategies based on the tumor's genetic profile.
