Genes and cancer
This section is all about cancer genes and includes our current knowledge of the role of genetics and genetic abnormalities in the development and diagnosis of cancer.
The information on these pages is designed for use by health professionals. If you are looking for information because you or someone you know has been affected by cancer, then the information on genes on our CancerHelp UK website is likely to be more relevant and useful. In particular the site includes a straightforward guide to understanding statistics and detailed information on more than 30 types of cancer.
