Seeds of cancer study sparks early onset fears
Howard W Slakesler reports to the American Association for Cancer Research that cancer seeds may exist before birth. In Rockefeller Institute work, mother mice injected with urethane produced offspring with cancers present early or later, suggesting cancer can be set in motion long before symptoms appear. Researchers also note that cancer cells spread easily and detach, aiding metastasis, while new compounds claim to destroy some cancers in animals.
