Challenge Cancer 2020: Breast Cancer Research

Maine Cancer Foundation has announced a recent funding award of $375,000 to foster the development of a commercially available early test for estrogen negative breast cancer. Dr. Srinidi Mohan, an assistant professor in the University of New England College of Pharmacy has received a provisional patent for his early detection and disease monitoring method, which uses a marker in the blood to detect the presence of highly aggressive tumors and to help track cancer growth.
