A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has uncovered how one of the most common ...

Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth. By testing every possible mutation in a critical hotspot, they found that ...

Most cancer genome studies have focused on mutations in the tumor itself and how such gene variants allow a tumor to grow unchecked. A new study takes a deep dive into inherited cancer mutations ...

The order of cancer-driving mutations—genetic changes—plays an important role in whether tumors in the intestine can develop, new research reveals. These are the findings published on 3 December in ...

Scientists have developed a new method for accurately predicting gene changes that cause lung cancer, without the need for slower, more expensive lab techniques.

Every cancer carries a unique genetic fingerprint: variations in DNA known as “somatic variants” that occur in tumor DNA but are absent from the patient’s healthy cells. While some cancers may also ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

It's a fundamental principle of science: Correlation does not equal causation. Every cancer cell has genetic mutations, but not all of those mutations necessarily drive the cancer. Subscribe to our ...

Mutations to the protein SPOP are widespread in cancer, yet many remain poorly understood. To address this gap, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists obtained structures of SPOP in both the ...

A new study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has identified genetic factors that determine ...

Most cancer genome studies have focused on mutations in the tumor itself and how such gene variants allow a tumor to grow unchecked. A new study, led by researchers at Washington University School of ...
