A genetic mutation that raises the  risk of breast cancer is found in up to 60 percent of U.S.  women, making it the first truly common breast cancer  susceptibility gene, researchers reported on Sunday.

Scientists say they have found a safer way of controlling genes to treat disease.

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.

MONDAY, Sept. 17 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. researchers say they&#39;ve found a gene that plays a crucial role in the ability of breast cancer cells to respond to estrogen.

Gene mutations linked to breast cancer may pose less danger than previously believed, a new study shows.

NEW YORK  - Certain genes are known to  promote cancer, and one such "oncogene" called MYC is commonly  activated in liver tumors. Researchers in California have now  shown, in mice, that when the MYC gene is turned off, liver  cancer cells become normal.

The number of mutated genes that drive development of cancer is greater than previously thought, research shows.

Scientists have said they discovered that mouth cancer cells develop along distinct &quot;mortal&quot; and &quot;immortal&quot; pathways -- an insight which could help curb the disease at its early stages.
