    "Scientists have identified a gene they believe plays a major role in more than half of all breast cancers and a significant portion of other tumours.

    The gene, which helps to stop cancer cells in their tracks, came to light after researchers noticed it was missing from tissues that had been removed from breast cancers for testing. The lack of the gene has also been implicated in half of all cases of colon and prostate cancer, and a quarter of ovarian and bladder tumours."
