Canadian team discovers gene that turns cancers off

A unique gene that can stop cancerous cells from multiplying into tumours has been discovered by a team of scientists at the B.C. Cancer Agency in Vancouver.

The team, led by Dr. Poul Sorensen, says the gene has the power to suppress the growth of human tumours in multiple cancers, including breast, lung and liver.

The gene, HACE 1, helps cells fight off stress that, left unchecked, opens the door to formation of multiple tumours.

Dr. Sorensen's team found cancerous cells form tumours when HACE 1 is inactive, but when additional stress such as radiation is added, tumour growth is rampant.

Kick-starting HACE 1 prevented those cells from forming tumours.

The study appears in the advance online publication of Nature Medicine.

Okie dokie -- so what? How does this help the Klown? Can they cure me if I get cancer? If not, how long will it be before this information leads to a cure? Jeez -- it's like I have to go down there and ask the questions myself to get the answers included in the article. My guess is the objective jourrrrrnalist was too busy thinking of how to denigrate conservatives in his next article.
