Scientists pinpoint new breast cancer genes

LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists said on Thursday they had pinpointed four new genes believed to be involved in the development of breast cancer.

By examining tissue from 53 breast cancer tumors and cells grown in the laboratory, researchers at the University of Cambridge in England narrowed down the search for the genes that that could provide a basis for new treatments for the disease.

"By using the latest in DNA technology we've been able to pinpoint four new genes likely to be involved in the development of breast cancer," said Professor Carlos Caldas, who headed the research team.

"Not only is this an exciting advance toward understanding how breast cancer develops, it also heralds a revolutionary new era in the discovery of genes linked to the disease," he added in a statement.

   Os noticiários das 20 informam que nestes avanços está envolvido um cidadão português, Castro Caldas, creio.

   Não só está envolvido, como é o professor e cientista responsável pela descoberta.
