WEDNESDAY, Jan. 30 (HealthDay News) -- High levels of a protein called Ki-67 are associated with poor prognosis in women with early-stage breast cancer, but this protein may not be useful in identifying patients who would benefit from additional chemotherapy, an Italian study suggests.

San Diego scientists have identified a protein in embryonic stem cells that helps weed out mutations as the cells proliferate. Its action may protect a developing embryo from DNA damage that could lead to cancer later in life.
