Abstract excerpt
Tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption are among the most significant, yet preventable, behavioral risk factors for cancer. In a recent article in Nature Genetics, Torrens and colleagues performed whole-genome sequencing of 265 head and neck cancer samples collected from 8 countries across Europe and South America. They investigated the mechanisms underlying head and neck cancer development using mutational...
