What to know

  • Y chromosome loss is common in aging men and creates a zone of genetic vulnerability in normal tissue.
  • The finding could enable earlier cancer detection by identifying men at elevated risk before tumors form.
  • The research was published in JCI Insights by Dr. Dan Theodorescu's team at the University of Arizona Cancer Center.

    Theodorescu team reports Y chromosome loss precedes cancer in men

    Dr. Dan Theodorescu's research at the University of Arizona Cancer Center reveals that loss of the Y chromosome in men's body tissue creates a preneoplastic field effect—a hidden zone of genetic vulnerability in normal tissue that provides fertile ground for cancer to develop. The findings were published in JCI Insights.
