Cancer Biology and Cancer Medicine

April 9, 2008 presentation by Nobel laureate Harold Varmus for the Stanford School of Medicine Medcast lecture series.

Nobel laureate Harold Varmus discusses the intersection of cancer biology and cancer medicine. Varmus, president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, earned his Nobel Prize for discovering retroviral oncogenes that can cause cancer. That work changed the way people thought about cancer: Rather than being a disease caused by environmental exposure, it could result from mutations in specific genes. Now, much cancer research and the search for therapeutics focus on genetic changes in cancer.

@mikaeolienne No spontaneous abortion does not elevate breast cancer risk if spontaneous abortion occurs in first 12 weeks of pregnancy. For more info, google "Breast Cancer Prevention Institute." This is an organization headed by Dr. Angela Lanfranchi, an American breast surgeon who circulates truthful info on breast cancer.

@ProLifeDisciple what about spontaneous abortion then? most significant risk factors for breast cancer are age and gender - and most probably alcohol and obesity.
