Radiotherapy is a very important treatment for cancer but it is only recently that the acute inflammation induced by radiation has been discovered to be a promoter of breast cancer progression in some cases. Our experimental results demonstrate that a subgroup of triple negative breast cancer patients, a very aggressive form of breast cancer, is particularly at risk of radiation-induced invasion, leading to metastasis development. This project aims at better identify those patients and optimize radiotherapy treatment.
