Discuss the interplay between genetics and environment in the development of cancer (it would be helpful to focus on one tumor suppressor/disease to narrow the scope of the discussion). Which factor (genetics or environment) is playing a larger role within your chosen context? Justify your argument.
Discuss the use of gene therapy in treating cancer.
Sequencing the human genome, the development of microarray technology, and personal genomics promise to improve our understanding of normal and abnormal cell behavior. How are these approaches dramatically changing our understanding and treatment of complex diseases such as cancer?

- You have decided to combine your love of biology and your love of dogs to train dogs to detect cancer. You can reliably train dogs to detect cancer with a high degree of accuracy. The dogs are able to detect the cancer simply by sniffing clothing that had been worn by the patient and so there is no contact between the dog and the patient. Since there are no risks from the test, and you know that cancer caught early is often treatable you are keen to develop your idea further. What possible negative consequences would need to be considered before concluding that this type of screening test should be more widely used? You may select more than one answer. a. Risks associated with further tests such as biopsies to type and stage the cancer. b. Risks associated with surgical interventions to remove the cancer. C. Risks associated with chemotherapy used post surgery.arrow_forwardWhy is it important to model cancer through the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells ?
