- Abstract:
The article offers information about cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention in the 21st century. The U.S. National Institutes of Health have started a Cancer Genome Atlas project which seeks to map the full genome of all human cancer types. Rather than comparing patients' tumors to find treatments, genomic cancer information will allow doctors to base their treatments on genetic comparisons that may improve patients' reactions to medicine. Hope for finding a cure before 2040 is expressed.
