A major breakthrough in cancer genetics has been achieved, paving the way for more effective prevention, early detection, and ...

People living in high pollution areas may rack up DNA glitches that trigger lung cancer, scientists suggest July 2 in Nature. Those glitches can include mutations that hobble the very genes that ...

Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to ...

The rising median age of people around the world has the same effect, since cancer can take decades to develop and therefore ...

New RNA vaccine shows promise in turning resistant tumors into immunotherapy targets. Study offers hope for more effective, ...

Researchers have discovered an unusual case where two well-known cancer-related mutations-APC and KRAS-coexisted in a woman with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and a history of endometrial ...

Mutations in 38 different types of cancer have been mapped by means of whole genome analysis by an international team of researchers from, amongst others, the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus ...

Joe Biden: 50% of cancers can be eliminated 01:23. Whoa: That doesn’t mean most cases of cancer are due solely to “bad luck.” It takes multiple mutations to turn cells into tumors — and a ...

Cancer mutations occur decades before diagnosis Date: February 6, 2020 Source: European Molecular Biology Laboratory Summary: A large-scale pan-cancer analysis of the evolutionary history of ...

A new study by scientists at Johns Hopkins provides evidence that random, unpredictable DNA copying "mistakes" account for nearly two-thirds of the mutations that cause cancer. The researchers say ...

A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has discovered that mutations found in cancers do not accumulate randomly, but are found in distinct patterns that ...

Most cancer genome studies have focused on mutations in the tumor itself and how such gene variants allow a tumor to grow unchecked. A new study, led by researchers at Washington University School of ...
