Cancer cells communication and growth

Mar 7, 2012 by Journal of Blood Disorders and Transfusion

Researchers have shown that the communication signals sent around the body by cancer cells, which are essential for the cancer to grow, may contain pieces of RNA — these substances, like DNA, are pieces of genetic code that instruct cells, and ultimately the body formation.The same study also found early indications that these genetic instructions can be intercepted and modified by chemotherapy to help prevent cancer cells growing.
