Researchers at the University of Geneva say they’ve made an important discovery on how genes can affect the progression of cancer.
The scientists point out that the disease develops within a complex system of tissue and cells. It’s been long known that genetics can influence the rate of spread.
Now two particular genes have been isolated which show when a patient has a high expression of them, the disease is slowed.
Now work will start on how to turn the finding into a treatment.
