See full text

Provided is a prognostic molecular marker for breast cancer recurrence. Expression of Snail, a zinc finger transcriptional repressor gene, is correlated to the risk of breast cancer recurrence, and to the likelihood of recurrence-free survival in subjects diagnosed with breast cancer. Further provided are methods of identifying therapeutic compositions for treating breast cancer to reduce recurrence associated with high expression of Snail, and methods of controlling Snail expression for research and therapeutic purposes.
