In a potential boost for tackling cancer, scientists have identified the mechanism by which a cancer gene promotes metastasis. Cancer metastasis The most deadly aspect of cancer is its ability to spread round the body, or ...</description></item><item><title>The Cancer Genome Atlas Project</title><link>http://www.brighthub.com/science/genetics/articles/12368.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:04:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:12368</guid><dc:creator>Tim Wogan</dc:creator><description>Researchers are considering whether or not it&amp;#39;s feasible to sequence the genetic mutations present in all different types of cancer in the hope of finding new treatments. A three-year pilot project is underway, and the first results have just been announced. About the Project On 26th June 2000, following 10 years of work, British Prime Minister...</description></item><item><title>Cancer Patient´s DNA Sequenced for the First Time in History</title><link>http://www.brighthub.com/science/genetics/articles/14159.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 06 Nov 2008 08:44:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:14159</guid><dc:creator>rafhub</dc:creator><description>For the first time in history the complete genome of a cancer patient has been completely sequenced to establish the genetic mutations that had caused the disease. It&amp;#39;s a massive breakthrough in cancer research. Researchers decoded the complete DNA sequence of a patient suffering from a specific type of cancer (acute myelogenous leukemia). The ...</description></item><item><title>Genes Linked to Lung Cancer Adenocarcinoma Discovered</title><link>http://www.brighthub.com/science/genetics/articles/12091.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 Oct 2008 14:41:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:12091</guid><dc:creator>rafhub</dc:creator><description>As genetic research progresses new sets of genes, related to diseases and disorders are discovered. A recent discovery of genes that increase the risk of lung cancer may open up the door for new treatment and diagnostic options. The new research has found that the number of genes related to adenocarcinoma in lungs is almost twice that of what was p...</description></item></channel></rss>
