Cancer Spreading Mechanism Identified ‘We will soon have a cure for cancers' states the Daily Express yesterday, but behind the media's bold headline scientists in question are actually far more cautious when reporting on their own laboratory research. The study which was reported on yesterday by the eagerly hopeful newspaper, is looking at a gene called WWP2 which is present in every human cell in the body. This gene can produce a group of different proteins that in turn regulate other proteins that normally prevent tumours from spreading. The idea we all want to hear is that eventually laboratories will be able to change this process through the use of certain drugs or antibodies to cure all cancers, however at this early stage it can be reported that no such drug has been found. The study however did not actually show the spreading action of the cancer cells and instead featured a complex range of tests examining the proteins and genes involved in the spreading of cancers.Research is constantly being conducted into the antibodies and drugs required to eventually ‘cure cancers' and one of the leading pharmaceutical companies quick to announce they are working...more

Data from the World Health Organisation states that the decrease could be by as much as 7 per cent in men and by 6 per cent in women compared with 2007 figures.Cancers which have seen recent declines...more
First Breast Cancer 'Oncogene' Discovered for Five Years Scientists at Cancer Research UK have identified a key cancer-causing gene that can trigger an aggressive type of breast cancer to develop. An oncogene is a gene that can contribute to the conversion of normal cells into cancerous cells by mutating or being overactive. This is the first time in over five years that a new breast cancer ‘oncogene' has been discovered. Researchers from Cancer Research UK and the British Columbia Cancer Agency in Vancouver, Canada believe that by conducting testing into patient's tumours to see how overactive the gene ‘ZNF703' really is could help doctors identify which patients have the more aggressive tumours, allowing tailored treatment to be provided. It is thought that as many as one third of aggressive breast cancers could have multiple copies of the gene ZNF703. In the future testing for this gene could help doctors to identify how likely it is a patient will respond to the drugs. The research conducted between the UK and colleagues in the US emphasises the fight against breast cancer taking place at the international level, bringing together all unique...more
