摘要: Cancer cells have diverse biological capabilities that are conferred by numerous genetic aberrations and epigenetic modifications. Today's powerful technologies enabling these changes to the genome be catalogued in detail. Tomorrow is likely bring a complete atlas of reversible irreversible alterations occur individual cancers. The challenge now work out which molecular abnormalities contribute cancer simply 'noise' at genomic epigenomic levels. Distinguishing between will aid understanding how cell collaborate drive pathophysiology. Past successes converting information from discoveries into clinical tools provide valuable lessons guide translation emerging insights end points can affect practice medicine.
