LOS ANGELES, May 14 (Xinhua) -- Researchers at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) have identified structural changes in breast connective tissue that are linked to a higher risk of developing aggressive breast cancer, according to a new study published on Wednesday.
The findings, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, suggest that these changes, referred to as stromal disruption, could serve as a potential biomarker to identify women at greater risk, even before cancer develops.
