Mapping the long road to cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Every cell in our body accumulates mutations throughout life, and sometimes an unfortunate combination of mutations drives the initiation of cancer. A new study infers extraordinarily detailed timelines of pre-cancerous evolution by sequencing single-cell genomes in patients with blood malignancies-finding that key mutations can arrive decades before diagnosis.
