Breast cancer takes many forms, defined largely by the receptors that sit on the surface of tumor cells. The most common are hormone and growth factor receptors for estrogen, progesterone, and HER2. The pattern of these receptors determines how the cancer behaves and which treatments work best. For example, cancers driven by estrogen, progesterone, or HER2 can be treated with targeted drugs, but tumors missing all three receptors—known as triple-negative breast cancers—are much harder to treat and have been the focus of intense research.

Some of these aggressive cancers are linked to inherited BRCA mutations, which also limit treatment options. These cancers often rely on altered energy use to survive, depending heavily on glycolysis, a fast way of producing energy even when oxygen is available.

In an astonishing world-first medical breakthrough, surgeons removed a spinal tumor through a patient’s eye socket — avoiding any external scars or major incisions. The 19-hour procedure, led by Dr. Mohamed A. M. Labib at University of Maryland Medical System, allowed doctors to reach the junction of the brain and spine by temporarily repositioning the eyeball, partially removing part of the cheekbone and lower orbit, and drilling a precise corridor through facial bone. This radical approach gave surgeons access to an area once considered impossible to reach safely.

After the tumor was removed, the surgical team rebuilt the patient’s face using titanium plates and bone taken from her hip. The result: complete tumor removal, minimal invasiveness, and a cosmetically flawless recovery. This innovative technique — jokingly nicknamed “creating a third nostril” — has the potential to revolutionize neurosurgery by opening safer, scar-free pathways to some of the most dangerous and inaccessible regions of the skull and spine.
