Cancer is often thought of as a single disease. Yet even tumors that arise in the same organ can follow very different genetic paths. A new study shows that these differences can sometimes be traced ...

Cancer’s strongest gene switches push DNA into damaging overdrive, creating repeated breaks and repairs that may fuel tumor ...

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, ...

A genetic fault long believed to drive the development of esophageal cancer may in fact play a protective role early in the disease, according to new research published in Nature Cancer. This ...

Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells to multiply without restraint. Decades of research have traced this process ...

Researchers at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital have developed a promising new immunotherapy targeting the CTNNB1 gene mutation associated with various aggressive cancers like lung ...
