The study, funded by Prevent Breast Cancer charity, discovered how to preserve breast tissue in a gel solution for effective drug treatment identification. The preserved tissue maintained structure and cell responses like normal tissue.
Dr. Hannah Harrison highlighted the significance of this breakthrough in enabling testing of appropriate drugs on living tissue for personalized breast cancer treatment, catering to genetic differences among individuals.
The breakthrough allows preservation of breast tissue for extended periods outside the body, offering new opportunities to test drugs effectively for cancer prevention and treatment, and understand factors like breast density and hormonal reactions.
