Will knowledge of human genome variation result in changing cancer paradigms?

Abstract excerpt

Our incomplete understanding of carcinogenesis may be a significant reason why some cancer mortality rates are still increasing. This lack of understanding is likely due to a research approach that relies heavily on genetic comparison between cancerous and non-cancerous tissues and cells, which has led to the identification of genes of cancer proliferation rather than differentiation. Recent observations showing...
