How Tissues And Organs Select The 'Best' Cells For Themselves, At The Expense Of 'Losers' Who Might Cause Disease
Sep 18, 2012
Scientists from the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) describe how natural selection also occurs at the cellular level, and how our body's tissues and organs strive to retain the best cells in their ranks in order to fend off disease processes. These results appear in the new issue of Cell Reports... Read More
Breath Analysis Could Help Diagnose Pulmonary Nodules
Sep 18, 2012
A pilot study, published in the October 2012 issue of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer's (IASLC) Journal of Thoracic Oncology, showed that breath testing could be used to discriminate between benign and malignant pulmonary nodules... Read More
Best Treatment Option For Childhood Cancer Offered By Whole-Genome Scan
Sep 18, 2012
A whole-genome scan to identify large-scale chromosomal damage can help doctors choose the best treatment option for children with neuroblastoma, one of the most common types of childhood cancer, finds an international collaboration jointly led by The Institute of Cancer Research, London...

Smokers With Lung Cancer Have Tenfold Genetic Damage
Sep 17, 2012
The tumors of smokers who develop lung cancer have ten times more genetic damage than those of never-smokers who develop the disease, according to a study published online in the journal Cell this week. Senior author Richard K. Wilson is director of The Genome Institute at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis in the US... Read More

2 Studies Could Lead To New Personalized Therapies For Lung Cancer Patients
Sep 17, 2012
Lung cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and is associated with very low survival rates. Two new genome-sequencing studies have uncovered novel genes involved in the deadly disease, as well as striking differences in mutations found in patients with and without a history of smoking...

In Lung Cancer, Smokers Have 10 Times More Genetic Damage Than Never-Smokers
Sep 17, 2012
Lung cancer patients with a history of smoking have 10 times more genetic mutations in their tumors than those with the disease who have never smoked, according to a new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "None of us were surprised that the genomes of smokers had more mutations than the genomes of never-smokers with lung cancer," says senior author Richard K... Read More

Missing Pieces Of DNA Structure Is A Red Flag For Deadly Skin Cancer
Sep 17, 2012
Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer and is the leading cause of death from skin disease. Rates are steadily increasing, and although risk increases with age, melanoma is now frequently seen in young people. But what if we could pinpoint when seemingly innocuous skin pigment cells mutate into melanoma? Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) have achieved this... Read More
