Among
the latest genetic developments in health care, a team from Osaka University
and the University of Toronto has found a gene that suppresses the spread of
breast cancer. The finding could lead to
new drugs to treat the disease, which, according to the American Cancer Society,
will strike an estimated 232,340 American women this year. Research would be aimed at increasing the
presence of the gene, called Monad, which in tests helped prevent spread of the
deadly disease beyond the mammary glands.
