First Breast Cancer 'Oncogene' Discovered for Five Years Scientists at Cancer Research UK have identified a key cancer-causing gene that can trigger an aggressive type of breast cancer to develop. An oncogene is a gene that can contribute to the conversion of normal cells into cancerous cells by mutating or being overactive. This is the first time in over five years that a new breast cancer ‘oncogene' has been discovered. Researchers from Cancer Research UK and the British Columbia Cancer Agency in Vancouver, Canada believe that by conducting testing into patient's tumours to see how overactive the gene ‘ZNF703' really is could help doctors identify which patients have the more aggressive tumours, allowing tailored treatment to be provided. It is thought that as many as one third of aggressive breast cancers could have multiple copies of the gene ZNF703. In the future testing for this gene could help doctors to identify how likely it is a patient will respond to the drugs. The research conducted between the UK and colleagues in the US emphasises the fight against breast cancer taking place at the international level, bringing together all unique...more

Ovarian Cancer Survival Rate Doubles in 30 Years According to Cancer Research UK, Ovarian cancer survival rates have nearly doubled in the past 30 years in England and Wales. The survival rate for ovarian cancer, five years after diagnosis has increased from 21% in the early 1970's to 41% per cent today. Cancer Research UK states that the improvement in the survival rate means that over 1,000 women per year in England and Wales are now surviving ovarian cancer for at least five years. However at present the same percentages do not relate to women diagnosed with more advanced stages of ovarian cancer. According to the East of England Cancer Registry (ECRIC), women diagnosed with stage III ovarian cancer (which includes the majority of women at 45%) have just over a 20% survival rate. Dr James Brenton, ovarian cancer clinician at Cancer Research UK's Cambridge Research Institute, said:"These latest figures show improvements in treatment, such as centralisation of ovarian cancer surgery and uniform access to chemotherapy, are making a difference in helping more women survive ovarian cancer, particularly those who are diagnosed earlier. But we face a real challenge in...more
