CBS Highlights WCM Physician's Breast Cancer Research
October 21, 2016
CBS News recently highlighted the work of Dr. Linda Vahdat, whose research is focused on treating stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.
Metastatic breast cancer is currently incurable, although researchers and physicians like Dr. Vahdat — Weill Cornell Medicine's director of breast cancer research — are working to find better ways to treat the disease.
Dr. Vahdat is currently testing a drug that reduces the body's level of copper, which tumors need to flourish within the body. Essentially, the treatment makes the body more inhospitable for cancer cells to grow.
