Gene Variant That Increases Ovarian Cancer Risk Discovered
Gene Variant That Increases Ovarian Cancer Risk Discovered: "After eight years of searching, Gayther and colleagues found an SNP on chromosome 9 that was uniquely linked to ovarian cancer. Each of us has 23 pairs of chromosomes, each 'copy' in the pair comes from one biological parent.
In collaboration with the international Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium (OCAC) they confirmed the finding in another group of 7,000 women with ovarian cancer and 10,000 women without the disease. The samples came from women all over the world."

SOCS1/p53: Scientists discover molecule that acts as natural cancer defense, Cancer Treatment
Scientists discover molecule that acts as natural cancer defense, Cancer Treatment
Scientists from Canada have found a natural defense mechanism for cancer prevention. Cytokines have long been known to produce diseases that include cancer, diabetes, and chronic inflammation. The new study identifies a link between the SOCS1 molecule and the p53 gene that is found to be lost among a majority of cancer patients.
The new research surprisingly showed the link between SOCS1 molecule and cancer. According to a lead author and Université de Montréal student, Viviane Calabrese The research team didn't anticipate that SOCS1 would turn out to be linked to p53, the master regulator of natural anticancer defenses. We were surprised to realize that SOCS1 was directly linked to p53."
