Alteration in a Gene Associated With Embryonic Development Linked With Deadly Lung Cancer

A comprehensive map of genetic mutations linked to an aggressive and lethal type of lung cancer has been developed by a team of scientists, including researchers from Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. The researchers have also identified a mutation in a gene known as SOX2 that is linked with early embryonic development. "Small cell lung cancers are very aggressive. Most are found late, when the cancer has spread and typical survival is less than a year after ...
