Re: [cancercured] Article about breast cancer , mets, and the gene that cause...

I don't think so.

Some people are more susceptible to some cancers because they have
damaged chromosomes which make them more likely to develop cancers. The
damage is genetic, and unfortunately was such that the damage is passed
on generation to generation. There are at least two different groups of
these, one Scandanavian, one from the middle east (there may well be
more than this too, I just know of these two...) and they tend to
promote sex-organ related cancers in both men and women.

The mouse mammary tumor virus is definitly a virus, and is a close
relative of some human mammary tumors; as to whether human mammary tumor
are viral in nature is of course a raging battle - for years it was very
clearly stated NO VIRUS, and then they began to find that indeed some of
the cancers were indeed viral in nature...
