摘要
The benign-to-malignant transition in human breast cancer is associated with a marked increase in chromosomal aberrations. A new study suggests that telomere dysfunction and its associated bridge-fusion-breakage cycles may drive this episodic instability, thereby providing aspiring cancer cells with the multiple genetic aberrations needed to achieve a fully malignant state.
