But Breastcancer.org says that metastatic breast cancer is more treatable compared to a cancer that starts in the bones or liver so that’s good news. Well, researchers from The Wistar Institute has uncovered another good news – they identified the gene that can suppress the spread of tumor cells in the body! The gene, KLF17, is called a “metastasis-suppressor gene” which prevents the spread of cancer cells from the breast to the lungs (as in the study) when it is turned on, and promotes metastasis when it is knocked down, damaged or absent. The protein from KLF17 attaches itself t...

Read why a colon cancer suddenly shows up in the liver at : Colon cancer metastasized to liver.   Metastatic liver cancer treatments   In Jim son’s metastatic liver cancer case, the doctors did an emergency colon surgery to remove a tumor that was wrongly diagnosed as constipation.   Of course a colon cancer blocking your stools will feel like constipation.   In some cases one should get alarmed when the constipation also caused some blood in the stools. Was this the case Jim, or what were the warning signs that let your son go to the hospital in the first place?   Jim’s son is now un...
