During the formation of cancer is known to take a long time, but in certain cases of cancer grows rapidly or instantaneously. Now British researchers solved the mystery of the instant cancer.
“Many cases of cancer that takes years or decades to develop. But we also know that in some cancer patients, this seems to arise more quickly than that, “said Dr Peter Campbell, as quoted from Dailymail, Friday (7 / 1).
In some cases, a single explosion in the cell can cause a lot of DNA damage. Findings from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is opposed to the old theory that reveals that cancer is a consequence of hundreds or thousands of mutations that is built up.
This helps explain why some people can be diagnosed with cancer, whereas a few months earlier found no sign of disease
in X-ray ray examination or other tests. These results are based on the study of genetic damage in 750 tumors.
In most cases, damage to chromosomes in the cancer creeping up over the years. But the estimated 1 in 40 cases the tumor does not develop properly and be quick. This is based on data in a report in the journal Cell.
“These results surprised us. It seems in one cell and one incident, there are one or more chromosomes that exploded and became hundreds of fragments (fragments). Stitch this fragment will amalgamate and form a genome damage, making a rapid progression of cancer, “he said.
Dr Campbell said the broken cells is trying to reunite the pieces of chromosome fragments. But unfortunately this unification process to form the genome is shorter and can be a path to cancer. This phenomenon is very common in bone cancer, in which different damage patterns seen in 1 out of 4 cases.
Although researchers have not been too sure what triggers major damage behind this instant cancer, but possibly due to X-ray exposure and sunburn.
“If we can understand up to the root, then we can learn to deal with how to prevent these cancers,” said Dr Campbell.
