Cancer researchers describe gene that halts spread of aggressive childhood cancer
4th Jan 2006, 20:34 GMT
Researchers report that they now have the roadmap they need to stop metastasis in one of the most aggressive and deadly pediatric cancers, neuroblastoma, and possibly other cancer types. (This same mechanism is seen in 70 percent of aggressive lung cancer, 10 percent of colon cancer, and 35 percent of edulloblastoma.)
