A researcher's brief explanation of how cancer develops

Renowned cancer researcher Mina Bissell, PhD, explains, in everyday language, some key points about cancer and how it develops. This includes the role of a cell's microenvironment, the extracellular matrix and laminin, a protein that is part of that matrix. Bissell, the distinguished senior scientist and senior advisor to the laboratory director at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, visited Upstate to deliver the annual Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund lecture.
