For some skin cancers, the five-year survival rate is as high as 90 percent. But other survival statistics are still discouragi

If several oncogenes are driven into action, the cell, unable to turn them off, becomes cancerous. 　　The exact mechanisms involved are still mysterious, but the likelihood th

Second, we have to determine whether there are a limited number of genes in cells which are always responsible for at least part of the trouble. If
