The time certainly seemed ripe for a breakthrough in cancer. Only last month scientists at the National Cancer Institute announced that they were halting a clinical trial of a drug called tamoxifen – and offering it to patients getting the placebo – because it had proved so effective at preventing breast cancer （although it also seemed to increase the risk of uterine cancer）。 Two weeks later came the New York Times' report that two new drugs can shrink tumors of every variety without any side effects whatsoever.
It all seemed too good to be true， and of course it was. There are no miracle cancer drugs， at least not yet. At this stage all the drug manufacturer can offer is some very interesting molecules， and the only cancers they have cures so far have been in mice. By the middle of last week， even the most breathless TV talk-show hosts had learned what every scientist already knew： that curing a disease in lab animals is not the same as doing it in humans. “The history of cancer research has been a history of curing cancers in the mouse，” Dr. Richard Klausner， head of the National Cancer Institute， told the Los Angles Times. “We have cured mice of cancer for decades – and it simply didn't work in people.”

ulcers
Even though ulcers appear to run in families，lifestyle plays more of a role than genetic
factors in causing the illness，according to a report in the April 13th Journal of Internal Medicine.
In particular ，smoking and stress in men and the regular use of pain.releasing medicines in women were linked with an increased risk of developing all ulcer.
Overall，61％of ulcer risk appears to be due to environmental factors，such as smoking， and the remaining 39％is due to genes according to Dr.Ismo Raiha of the University of Turky and colleagues at the University of Helsinki，Finland.Some researchers had suggested that families may spread Helicobacteria pylori ，the bacteria that can cause ulcers.However.the new study suggests this is unlikely，according to the report.
Raiha and colleagues studied data from more than 1 3，000 pairs of twins“to examine the roles of genetic and environmental factors in the origin of peptic ulcer disease.”they explain.Both twins were more likely to develop an ulcer if the pair were genetically the same as compared with a par of fraternal twins，suggesting that there must be some genetic susceptibility to ulcer development.
However，the risk was no greater in twins living together compared with twins living apart， suggesting that shared exposure to H. pylori was not to blame.“Environmental effects were not due to factors shared by family members ，and they were related to smoking and stress in men and the Use of analgesics in women，”the authors wrote.“The minor effects of shared environment to disease liability do not support the concept that the grouping of risk factors，such as H.pylori infection，would explain the genetic factor of peptic ulcer disease，”they concluded.
