Leading cancer experts at the University of Birmingham have solved a long-standing question of how various types of mutations in just one gene cause different types of diseases.
A team of scientists at the Universityâs Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences, led by Professor Constanze Bonifer, studied a gene known as RUNX1, which is responsible for providing instructions for the development of all blood cells and is frequently mutated in blood cancers.
The results of their research has shown that the balance of cells types in the blood is affected much earlier than previously thought, which is particularly important for families that carry the mutant gene.
When to go back to work after cancer
Going back to work if you’ve had to take time off for cancer treatment can feel like a big step forward. But it’s important not to rush it – and not to expect too much of yourself, too soon.
Where reasonable, your employer has a duty to make changes to help you do your job during and after treatment (as long as you’ve told them about your diagnosis). So when you feel ready, talk to your boss, your doctors or your clinical nurse specialist about what’s possible, and ease yourself back in gently.
