Original: Study shows how missing pieces of Y chromosome drive cancer in men
A new study shows that loss of parts of the Y chromosome, a change seen in many men as they age, can actively drive cancer development. Researchers report the missing genetic material affects tumour growth in men, offering a possible explanation for why certain cancers behave differently between the sexes.
Why now: New scientific findings on the role of Y chromosome loss in male cancer are drawing attention.
