Researchers Discover A Unique Pattern of Gene Activity That Can Predict Liver Cancer Spread

Researchers have found that a unique pattern of activity for genes in cells located in the tissue surrounding a liver tumor can accurately predict whether the cancer will spread to other parts of the liver or to other parts of the body. This preliminary research was led by a team of researchers*, including several from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other institutes, who report these findings in the August 2006 issue of Cancer Cell **.>>> Discuss This Story
