Study finds gene CDKN2A can prevent or promote esophageal cancer based on mutation timing.

A new study funded by Cancer Research UK reveals that the gene CDKN2A can both prevent and promote esophageal cancer, depending on the timing of its mutation. This discovery, published in Nature Cancer, indicates that early mutations in CDKN2A without accompanying p53 mutations may suggest a lower risk of cancer progression. The findings could lead to more personalized cancer risk assessment and prevention strategies.
