New Insights into Genomics of Pediatric Cancers

No authors listed. Cancer Discov. 2018 May.

Abstract

Two large studies show that the genetic events driving pediatric cancers are different from those underlying adult cancers. These findings may prove useful for identifying new treatments for childhood cancers, as well as for developing tests to aid in diagnosis and the selection of therapy.
