"we're much closer to understanding what makes cancer cells tick and why they are so deadly."

(STANDUP: Dr. Mallika Marshall/CBS NEWS)
Dr. Robert Weinberg and his team recently discovered that cancer tumors spread by re-activating a protein that is normally shut off in the early development of the embryo.

(SOT-Dr. Robert Weinberg/Whitehead Institute)
"but somehow cancer cells are some how able to pry open these long silent genes turning them on."

AT THE DANA FARBER RESEARCHERS ARE HUNTING DOWN THE SEQUENCING OF SPECIFIC D-N-A WHICH PRODUCES THESE PROTEINS. BY MAPPING THE GENETIC CODE FOR CANCER, DOCTOR MATTHEW MEYERSON AND HIS TEAM HOPE THEIR WORK WILL LEAD TO A THERAPY THAT WILL CHANGE THE WAY WE TREAT CANCER.

"they only kill the cells that have the bad gene in them."
