The past, present and future of breast cancer research in China.

Abstract:

:The incidence of breast cancer has increased rapidly in recent years and has now become the most common cancer in women in major cities of China. Here, we reviewed the history and progress of breast cancer research in China, including achievements that Chinese scientists have made in basic, translational and clinical research. Moreover, we evaluated the contributions of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) in the field of breast cancer research. The number of grants funded by the NSFC for breast cancer has tripled from 87 to 274 in the past 5years, and this resulted in a dramatic increase in breast cancer publications. Despite this great progress, policy makers are continuously taking efforts to guarantee the transparency of grant competition and the effective use of NSFC finding.

  • BTB and CNC homology 1 (Bach1) promotes human ovarian cancer cell metastasis by HMGA2-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

    abstract::Transcriptional factor BTB and CNC homology 1 (Bach1) has been linked to tumor progression and metastasis, but the mechanisms underlying the effects of Bach1 on tumor growth and metastasis are largely uncharacterized.
