How inherited genetics shape the way cancer forms and evolves
BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM A study published in Nature provides the first experimental evidence that inherited genetics shape not just whether cancer starts, but how it evolves once it does. Researchers led by Duncan Odom at the CRUK Cambridge Institute exposed four genetically distinct strains of mice to identical doses of diethylnitrosamine, a liver carcinogen found in tobacco smoke and some processed foods. All four groups got the s…
Study reveals why DNA damage from smoking and UV rays may cause cancer in some people but not others
The findings could explain why some people are more susceptible to cancer than others in the same environment and suggest that future cancer prevention and screening strategies may need to account more carefully for inherited genetics and population diversity.The research, published today in Nature and carried out in mice, suggests that responses to DNA-damaging cancer treatments could differ depending on a patient's background genetics, strengt…
A study published in the scientific journal Nature suggests that congenital genetic differences may determine cancer risk, tumor growth rate, and the ability to respond to DNA damage.
