Very Personalized Medicine: Sequencing of Second Cancer Patient Reveals Potentially Significant Mutations
A new genetic screening process has helped researchers understand the genetic causes of cancer, such as how mutations accumulated in a person’s life can cause leukemia.
The study shows that by comparing a person’s own DNA to that of their cancerous cells, researchers can find DNA mutations that may have led to abnormal cell growth, or [...]
