Science of heredity of cancer of colon finds _'s symptom
Cancer of colon and morbidity of rectal cancer in our country have the tendency to increase, is second only to gastric carcinoma, hepatocarcinoma, cancer of the esophagus. The researchers from Samuel Lunenfeld research institute have already fixed, the mutation of a kind of special gene of patient of some cancer of colon can express, take place the risk of this kind of disease. The relevant article of this research is issued on Jourenal of the National Cancer Institute of November 3, 2004.
The seminar which Dr. Steven Gallinger led there is MYH (MutY human homologue) on a person among parents The gene and person who has the family of this kind of medical history have carried on research. If a person is the person who carries of MYH gene among one of children's parentses, then the probability that this child carries this kind of sudden change is 1/2, and risk of cancer of colon takes place and increase in it.
Researcher's analysis result to 1238 colon rectal cancer patient and 1255 healthy persons shows, the risk of suffering from colon and rectal cancer of MYH person who carries gene is relatively high.
This research has promoted people's knowledge of hereditary foundation of cancer of colon. According to this discovery, the doctor may can confirm who needs to direct against laboratory test and detection of this kind of disease. The result of this research may also be used for confirming people suffer from the risk of this kind of disease.
