Researchers have found that when cells become cancerous, they become 100 times more likely to genetically mutate than non-cancerous cells. This explains why tumor cells have so many mutations. Good news on the research front. But bad news on the treatment front -- because therapies that target a certain gene may be largely ineffective in controlling cancer.
The Cancer Blog is one of three health blogs where we post information and resources in news you can use to promote good health in the prevention and management of disease; advancements in research; features about people and human interest stories; products and services; and announcements of events. Really, if it is health-related in interest, we are likely to post about it.
