Enable U.S. researchers to identify genetic mutations associated with pancreatic cancer
Allison Klein said the researcher responsible for the study at Johns Hopkins that mutations in the gene, "or any T" may increase the risk of hereditary cancer of the pancreas.
She added that "there was a significant reason to believe that this cancer is caused by hereditary, but we could not before to find genes that explain the incidence of pancreatic cancer in most of these families."
She stated that the preliminary results observed in a large number of patients, and showed mutations in the gene, "or any T" in four out of 166 people suffering from pancreatic cancer.
The researcher's knowledge of the presence of mutations in the gene in question may lead to better screening for this type of cancer.
The cancer of the pancreas of the most common types of cancers, aggressive and lethal, and escape from the infected within five years from the beginning of infection by up to 1% and 5% during the first year of the discovery of the disease, as revealed research to the head of cancer at the University of Msarak in the city of Brno, Czech Republic.
The Swedish study showed that it increased their intake of soft drinks or add sugar to coffee or tea, they become more vulnerable to the risk of cancer of the pancreas.
And researchers to this conclusion after studying the diets of about 80 thousand men and women between 1997 and 2005. 131 people were injured from the test sample of pancreatic cancer during the study.
