'Master' Proto-Oncogene Regulates Stress-Induced Ovarian Cancer Metastasis

Scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered the signaling pathway whereby a master regulator of cancer cell proteins -- known as Src -- leads to ovarian cancer progression when exposed to stress hormones. The researchers report in the current issue of Nature Communications that beta blocker drugs mitigate this effect and reduce cancer deaths by an average of 17 percent.

Le risque de cancer augmente près des usines de déchets électroniques

Les appareils électroniques agrémentent notre quotidien puis s’en vont dans les pays en développement pour y être incinérés. Leur combustion libère des hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP) cancérigènes. En Chine, le risque de cancer du poumon est 1,6 fois plus important pour les habitants proches des usines de traitement que pour les habitants des villes, pourtant plus polluées, mais par d’autres industries.
