New Approaches In Cancer Research

New Approaches In Cancer Research are actually old ideas that are finally getting recognition in the fight against cancer.

For over 20 years, Dr. Mina Bissell has been studying the genesis of cancer. Only recently has she been lauded for creating “a paradigm shift” in the study of the genesis of cancer.

Dr. Bissell and others have been in the foreground for the acceptance of what seemed a radical idea, 20 years ago…Gene mutations.

Gene mutations are part of the process of cancer. Although Cancer is not about but mutations, it is not clear why. It isn’t only mutations, cancer involves an interaction between rogue cells and the surrounding tissues.

So, for over 40 years, mutations have often been ignored or dismissed as researchers focused on genes and on isolated cancer cells that they grew in their labs in petri dishes, under a controlled environment.

New Approaches In Cancer Research as  researchers are finally studying tumors in their cellular environments. This will explain many anomalies of cancer. Finally, there is a new focus on a cancer’s surroundings, which is a major shift in thinking about why cancer occurs and how to stop it.
