While Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare and dangerous disease, new laboratory research at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center shows it may lead researchers toward clues in more common diseases, including highly hereditary types of breast cancer. http://www.physorg.com/news171805376.html Medicine & Health Thu, 10 Sep 2009 13:00:01 EST news171805376 (PhysOrg.com) -- University of Cincinnati (UC) cancer cell biologists have identified a distinct gene linked to increased lung cancer susceptibility and development. They say this gene -known as RGS17 -could result in a genetic predisposition to develop lung cancer for people with a strong family history of the disease. http://www.physorg.com/news159022902.html Medicine & Health Wed, 15 Apr 2009 14:02:13 EST news159022902 (PhysOrg.com) -- Every year, millions of people are diagnosed with cancer - a remarkably high number. But what about the flipside of those statistics? That is, two out of three people never get cancer, and more than half of heavy smokers don`t get cancer, either. A recent study points out this overlooked fact, and suggests that researchers might discover something by asking why so many people are resistant to the often deadly disease. http://www.physorg.com/news151840958.html Medicine & Health Thu, 22 Jan 2009 10:03:13 EST news151840958 (PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists at St Andrews University's Bute Medical School are investigating a vital link between radiation sensitivity and breast cancer susceptibility. http://www.physorg.com/news136817532.html Medicine & Health Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:52:12 EST news136817532
