Die Ausbreitung von Brustkrebs kann vererbt werden, aber ein im Labor hergestellter Antikörper könnte seinen Exodus stoppen

>A gene involved in setting cholesterol levels may also determine whether breast cancer spreads to other parts of the body.

>A variant of the *PCSK9* gene [drives the spread of breast cancer](https://www.cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092-8674(24)01326-6), but a lab-made antibody already approved to treat high cholesterol may help stop the exodus, researchers report December 9 in *Cell*.

>For years, researchers have been examining normal tissue and breast cancer tumors that had spread to other parts of the body trying — and failing — to find mutations that spur the migration, says oncologist and cancer biologist Sohail Tavazoie of the Rockefeller University in New York City.
