Missing Y chromosome pieces found to drive cancer in men
Original: Study shows how missing pieces of Y chromosome drive cancer in men
A new study shows how loss of parts of the Y chromosome, a common age-related change in men's cells, can promote cancer growth. Researchers report the missing pieces help tumours evade immune defences, offering a possible explanation for why some cancers in men are more aggressive and opening paths to new treatments.
Why now: Fresh research explaining a long-observed genetic change linked to male cancer risk is drawing scientific and media attention.
