Researchers identify cancer genes in human tumors
Researchers at MD Anderson and Cold Spring Harbor report cancer arise from altered normal genes found in all cells. Led by Robert Weinberg and Michael Wigler, the team showed human cancer genes can convert normal mouse cells to cancer, suggesting potential future diagnosis and treatment avenues though practical use may be years away. They noted possible links to neuroblastoma and a form of leukemia.
