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 ...

Why do two people with the same cancer diagnosis—the same stage, the same cell type, and the same clinical profile—often have ...

It's a fundamental principle of science: Correlation does not equal causation. Every cancer cell has genetic mutations, but ...

An international team of scientists headed by researchers at the University of Edinburgh, has created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene, CTNNB1, influence ...

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 ...

A new study headed by teams at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), and Open Targets has indicated how mutations that cause cancer drug resistance fall ...

Dr. Marwan G. Fakih explains that KRAS mutations, found in 45% of patients with colorectal cancer, include the rare KRAS G12C mutation, leading to Lumakras approval. According to the National Cancer ...

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, ...

Researchers have identified 813 possible cancer driver genes, significantly expanding the list of potential therapeutic targets for treating the disease. The genes help cancer cells grow through a non ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising overlap between cancer genetics and Alzheimer’s disease, involving mutations in the ...

A new study led by Aaron Hobbs, Ph.D., and Rachel Burge, Ph.D., at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, reveals why a specific gene mutation behaves differently from other variants. The study, published in ...
