...researchers began by comparing patterns in the expression of cyclin molecules in both normal and tumor cells. By examining the protein of 10 different cell lines, the researchers determined that cyclin E was present at abnormally high levels and also that its protein formed a different pattern in the cancerous cells...

...technique detects changes in the protein produced by p53, believed by many experts to be a tumor suppressor gene. Mutations in p53 have been linked to an increased predisposition in many patients for a number of tumors, including breast cancer...
Calling the technique "a major conceptualbreakthrough," Friend said yesterday it "shouldeventually be applicable to other tumor suppressorgenes." In particular, two other tumor suppressorgenes, one for childhood kidney cancer and one forchildhood eye cancer, may be subjects of futuretests
...doctor used a computer to analyze the genetic makeup of the aberrant cells and generate a custom-made virus that would search out the wayward tissue. Then the virus would infect the malignant cells, injecting a handful of its own regulatory genes. These viral snippets would reprogram the microscopic tumor's DNA, shutting down its unruly growth pattern and transforming the cancer cells back into healthy ones...
