There is a certain gene that activates cancer pain.

Humans are vulnerable to cancers. There are numerous numbers of cancers that are already known, but do you really understand what cancers is? According to Wikipedia; cancer is also known as a malignant tumor or malignant neoplasm, is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Not all tumors are cancerous; benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body. Possible signs and symptoms include: a new lump, abnormal bleeding, a prolonged cough, unexplained weight loss, and a change in bowel movements, among others. While these symptoms may indicate cancer, they may also occur due to other issues.

Cancer is painful.

Indeed those who suffers from cancer will never say that such battle is an easy fight. Sufferers endure pain but studies have shown that the most hardships are to those who have tumors in the head, neck and prostate. Yet there is a new research that will answer why those who have (tumors in the head, neck and prostate) suffers most. Scientist have found out that there is one particular gene that triggers cancer pain, this research present hope especially to those scientists who are involve to this research, that one day they will be able to come up with a certain therapy that will relieved pain the most accurate way possible. A good news isn’t it?

The TMPRSS2 gene

Each year there are more than 550,000 people all over the world that are affected by cancers in the head and neck according to a doctor from the University of Toronto named Dr David Lam. As a doctor who examines cancer in the head and neck, what he discover next is a viable information that convince him to explore a certain genetic marker called TMPRSS2, an intensive presence of this genetic marker corresponds with more aggressive forms of prostate cancer.

 

In other words, Dr Lam discovered that the TMPRSS2 gene is a common denominator to those who suffers from cancers in the head, neck and prostate.

The most important information we can obtain from Dr Lam’s research is that it identifies the role of TMPRSS2 gene the greater numbers of this gene that will contact with nerve pain receptors, the greater pain a sufferer need to endure.

This latest discovery gives light and new possibility to create another form of pain reliever that will help the pain lessen that will lighten the burden of a cancer patient.
