Abstract PL02-03: Genomic mapping of cancer origins

Abstract:: Abstract Cancer comprises a bewildering assortment of diseases that kill 7.5 million people each year. Poor understanding of cancer's diversity currently thwarts our goal of a cure for every patient, but recent integration of genomic and stem cell technologies promises a route through this impasse. In particular these studies have provided new insight into the origin of cancer subgroups currently regarded and treated as single diseases. The improved understanding of tumor biology and accurate preclinical models derived from these studies hold promise to advance cures for all patients with cancer.
