Abstract P5-05-06: Cobalamin metabolism in breast cancer

Conclusion:The Cbl metabolic pathway is upregulated within aggressive breast malignancies and can be biochemically targeted by a simple pulse-chase technique in vivo. The definitive mechanisms underpinning the up-regulated mitochondrial metabolism of Cbl within human breast tumors and the PC methodology remain to be elucidated. Further investigation of Cbl metabolism within benign and malignant breast tissue could potentially yield new molecular targets to detect and treat aggressive breast tumors.Citation Format: Collins DA.
