Ovarian, Breast And Lung Cancer Survival Linked To Two Proteins
 

US scientists found that levels of two proteins called Dicer and Drosher that are involved in shutting down genes were linked to a woman's chances of surviving ovarian cancer and similar effects were also found in lung and breast cancer patients. Women with high levels of these proteins had a median survival of 11 years while women with low levels of both proteins only had a median survival rate of 2.7 years.
