The researches in the Sahlgrenska Academy, which is located in the University of Gothenburg, Sweden have discovered a new cancer gene. This gene forms glandular cancer that occurs in the head and neck in women. "Adenoid cystic carcinom" is the name of the new cancer gland. Researches have discovered that it is a very slow growing gene but it is also very deadly at the same time. A genetic test can be used to correct any diagnosis.
This new cancer gene is known as a "fusion gene." That is when two normal healthy genes connect together as one. Researches are still doing testing on this gene to find out more reasons of what causes this to happen and to study treatments.
