Congratulations to American Society for Investigative Pathology member, Dr. Renato Iozzo!

Putting a focus on stage IV metastatic breast cancer research.

This week, the PA Breast Cancer Coalition awarded a $100,000 grant to Dr. Renato Iozzo at Jefferson Health as part of our ongoing commitment to advancing breast cancer research.

Dr. Iozzo's research will focus on studying breast cancer that has metastasized or spread to other parts of the body through lymphatic vessels. Dr. Iozzo’s team discovered that decorin, a protein found in the tissue around tumors, can reduce the growth of lymphatic vessels and trigger a process to remove damaged cells. He hopes to use this knowledge to develop new targeted treatments for stage IV metastatic breast cancer.

👏Congratulations to Dr. Iozzo!
