MD Anderson researchers have identified early genomic events that may lead to malignant transformation. They’ve found that tissue adjacent to tumors that appears to be pathologically normal may harbor cells with mutations that could lead to cancer.
“These findings provide important insights to the earliest changes that lead to malignancy and could help with early detection of cancer or even prevention,” says Paul Scheet, Ph.D....

Despite major recent advances in oncology drug discovery, including the development of innovative targeted, immune and cell-based therapies, there remain many opportunities to improve outcomes for patients with cancer. Some may not benefit from available treatments, and others may have highly aggressive or drug-resistant cancers that require new options.
As part of MD Anderson’s commitment to bring our patients the most effective...
