Discovered three new genes that cause lung cancer
October 9, American scientists at the Research Center
October 9, US scientists at New York's " Cold Spring Harbor " Research Center reported that three new genes have been discovered that are linked to 20% of all lung cancer cases.
They found that the genetic change often occurs in the lungs of about 20% of non-small cell lung cancer patients, which account for 80% of the total. case of lung cancer. Specifically, the three types of TTF1, NKX2-8 and PAX9 genes interact with each other to make the tumor grow, and locate near each other in the chromosome group 14.
According to Dr. Michael Thun, head of epidemiology research at the American Cancer Society, this new finding opens up a new approach for patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Scientists say that understanding the transformation mechanisms of the three genes will enable them to find ways to prevent their interactions and prevent tumor growth.
