AFAP (attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis) is a condition caused by a genetic mutation which causes the growth of colorectal polyps that have the potential to become cancerous. Since the risk of developing colon cancer is higher for two out of... (Continue reading)
Alcohol Flushing, a Tell Sign for Risk of Esophageal Cancers
Written on 7 Apr, 2009 at 21:25 in Breast Cancer, Cancer, Colon Cancer, Lung Cancer | viewed 28,696 times | 1 Comment
Alcohol-induced flushing is caused by an inherited deficiency in an enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) and recent studies show that people with this deficiency are more exposed to the risk of developing esophageal cancer (specifically squamous cell carcinoma) from... (Continue reading)
Genetic Predisposition for Blood Cancers Confirmed
Myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) are a group of blood cancers characterized by the excess production of red and white blood cells, many cases of which being caused by a mutation in a gene called JAK2. A recent study carried out at... (Continue reading)

Src is an enzyme from the family of protein tyrosine kinases and it was the first cancer-causing gene discovered at the beginning of the 20th century. It has control over cell metabolism, division and death and while its function is... (Continue reading)
DNA Repair and Oxidative Stress
The DNA inside cells is under continuous attack from heat, radiation and oxygen and one response of the cell to this outside factors is oxidative stress, which represents an imbalance in cell metabolism and it is related to a sum... (Continue reading)
