Scientists say they have linked a faulty copy of a gene with the development of breast cancer.

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

It&#39;s now well known that people who carry mutations in the BRCA 1 and 2 genes are prone to ovarian and breast cancer, but new findings show that these genes also increase risk of certain other cancers as well.

Dr. Dale Sandler said women who share the same genes, have similar experiences and have twice the risk of developing breast cancer offer a better chance of learning what causes it.

A family of enzymes may trigger cancer by sabotaging cell memory, research suggests.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be the best screening tool for breast cancer in women who carry the genetic mutation that makes them susceptible to the disease, according to new research.

Extra copies of a certain gene found in about a third of breast cancers may be responsible for their unchecked growth and survival, researchers reported on Thursday.

Scientists in Britain have identified a genetic mutation involved in certain types of lung cancer and said the breast cancer drug Herceptin might work in patients who have it.

NEW YORK  - Loss of a tumor suppresser gene  called Rb may be the first step in the development of prostate  cancer, according to findings from experiments in mice.

Scientists have taken a key step toward revealing the causes of prostate cancer, finding that a combination of five gene variants dramatically raises the risk of the disease

Women with early stage breast cancer may soon get another gene test to help predict whether they'll relapse in five or 10 years, information that could influence how aggressively they fight the initial tumor.

The first genetic map of colon and  breast cancer shows that nearly 200 mutated genes -- most of  them previously unknown -- help tumors start, grow and spread,  U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.

The criteria on who to test for a high-risk breast cancer gene should be reviewed, researchers suggest.

Tools used to predict whether a woman's breast cancer is inherited do not account for smaller families and may leave some women in the dark about their risk for future cancers, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.

SUNDAY, May 27 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers say they&#39;ve moved much closer to untangling the genetic threads that raise a woman&#39;s chance for breast cancer.

Increased levels of a cell chemical receptor called CXCR4 is needed for the spread of certain hereditary breast cancers, researchers report in the journal Cancer Cell.
