Risk factors for developing breast cancer include being female, increasing age, being overweight, alcohol consumption and ...

In this study, the team identified that the cancer-causing gene FOXA1 is a key regulator of alternative splicing in prostate cancer and may control the generation of splice variants that influence ...

Using sophisticated algorithms to explore regions of the genome whose roles in cancer have been largely uncharted, an international team of researchers including from Princeton has opened the door to ...

Scientists have discovered a novel way by which a much-studied cancer-promoting gene accelerates the disease. The finding suggests a new strategy to halt cancer’s progress.

Your risk of non-small-cell lung cancer may be affected by gene mutations. Learn what causes the mutations and how genes may affect cancer treatment.

Hereditary genetic mutations are a key cause of cancer. One recent study estimated that about 17% of patients with cancer harbor inherited defects in key cancer genes. But it is not well understood ...

In the sport of sumo, a bout most commonly ends when one competitor is pushed or thrown outside of a ring of straw bales ...

Researchers have defined for the first time the mechanism behind three cancer-causing genes in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The findings offer insight on the complex interaction between the genes ...

A team of researchers has identified specific gene combinations that can cause deadly brain cancer glioblastoma, using new technology that can also pinpoint triggers of other types cancers.

Most cancers are not linked to inherited gene changes. If you have an inherited gene change it increases your risk of developing certain types of cancer. Some gene changes increase the risk of more ...

A new drug that targets cancer-causing genes may help to improve cancer survival rates. Researchers also hope that it might halt obesity-related cancers.

A Yale-led team of researchers has identified specific gene combinations that can cause the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma, using new technology that can also pinpoint triggers of other types ...
