1 gene that contributes to breast cancer's aggressive behavior identified
Aggressive forms of cancer are often driven by the abnormal over-expression of cancer-promoting genes, also known as oncogenes. view more (2009-07-21)
Gene thought to assist chemo may help cancer thrive
A gene thought to be essential in helping chemotherapy kill cancer cells, may actually help them thrive. view more (2007-05-16)
Researchers identify gene as protector of DNA, enemy of tumors
A single gene plays a pivotal role launching two DNA damage detection and repair pathways in the human genome, suggesting that it functions as a previously unidentified tumor suppressor gene. view more (2006-08-07)
Researchers develop new method to test for lung cancer
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine have developed a new "clinicogenomic model" to accurately test for lung cancer. view more (2008-04-02)
Impaired gene helps nonsmall-cell lung cancer resist drug
Lung cancer cells with a defective version of a potential tumor suppressor gene are highly resistant to attack by a platinum-based drug commonly used to treat the disease. view more (2006-10-02)
Targeting the protein AEG1 impairs human liver cancer growth in mice
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive form of liver cancer and one of the 5 most common cancers worldwide. Devanand Sarkar and colleagues, at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, Richmond, have now identified a gene that is expressed at high levels in human HCC tumor samples and generates a protein important for HCC... view more...

Suicide Gene Combination Targets Breast Cancer
A new 'mix and match' cancer therapy is being unveiled at the British Endocrine Societies meeting in Birmingham today. view more (2000-03-07)
Variant of vitamin D receptor gene linked to melanoma risk
A new analysis indicates an association between a gene involved in vitamin D metabolism and skin cancer. Published in the November 1, 2008 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study suggests that individuals with certain variants in a vitamin D-related gene, called BsmI, may be at an increased risk of... view more...

U-M researchers link pathway to breast cancer stem cells
A gene well known to stop or suppress cancer plays a role in cancer stem cells, according to a new study from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. The researchers found that several pathways linked to the gene, called PTEN, also affected the growth of breast cancer stem cells. view more (2009-06-02)
International research team identifies gene that promotes prostate cancer
Together with an international research team, researchers from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have developed an effective method for the screening and identification of genes that under normal conditions suppress cancer growth. The method enabled the discovery of a new cancer gene, which, when damaged, may promote prostate cancer.... view more... (2004-11-24)
Jefferson researchers uncover genetic signature that predicts colon cancer
Researchers at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia have uncovered a genetic "signature" that accurately identifies colon cancer-a key, they hope, to better understand how the cancer develops. view more (2006-04-05)
Mayo Clinic: Gene expression profiling not quite perfected in predicting lung cancer prognosis
While there have been significant advances in the use of gene expression profiling to assess a cancer prognosis, a Mayo Clinic review and analysis of existing lung cancer studies shows that this technology has not yet surpassed the accuracy of conventional methods used to assess survival in lung cancer patients. view more (2006-11-17)
Discovery in worms by Queen's researchers points to more targeted cancer treatment
Researchers at Queen's University have found a link between two genes involved in cancer formation in humans, by examining the genes in worms. The groundbreaking discovery provides a foundation for how tumor-forming genes interact, and may offer a drug target for cancer treatment. view more (2009-11-11)
Rare cancer-causing syndrome found, for the first time, in Singapore
A rare hereditary disorder that strongly predisposes carriers to develop cancer at an early age has been found in an Asian female, report researchers today at the American Association for Cancer Research Centennial Conference on Translational Cancer Medicine. view more (2007-11-05)
Mutation rate in a gene on the X chromosome holds promise for testing cancer risk
A new study to detect an elevated rate of mutations in a gene on the X chromosome holds promise for developing a test that could identify individuals at risk for developing cancer. view more (2005-09-16)
Scientists Discover Cause Of Leukaemia That Halted Treatment Trial For 'Baby-in-a-Bubble' Syndrome
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists have helped establish the cause of the leukaemia which developed in two young patients taking part in a pioneering gene therapy trial to treat the fatal 'baby-in-a-bubble' syndrome, severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID). The trial at the Necker-Enfants Malades clinic in Paris was stopped last year due... view more... (2003-10-16)
Should parents share the results of BRCA1/2 genetic testing with their children?
If you learned that you were at high risk of cancer because you carry the hereditary BRCA1/2 gene mutation, would you tell your children? view more (2009-05-15)
Genetic parallels found between lung development and lung cancer
For over 100 years, biologists have speculated that cancer growth shares common features with embryonic development. view more (2006-07-05)
Modified gene targets cancer cells a thousand times more often than healthy cells
Researchers at the University of Rochester have designed a gene that produces a thousand times more protein in cancer cells than in healthy cells. view more (2008-12-18)
Novel marker of colon cancer
Colon cancer ranks second of all gastrointestinal malignant tumors, it is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. view more (2008-10-24)
