Lung Cancer Study Sheds Light on Treatment Options
Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine collaborated on the project, University City Patch reported.
A cutting-edge analysis of a common type of lung cancer will help scientists improve prevention, detection and treatment, the Washington University School of Medicine reported via University City Patch.
Quoting from the Patch article:
"The study examined the tumors and normal tissue of 178 patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma. The investigators found recurring mutations common to many patients in 18 genes. And almost all of the tumors showed mutations in a gene called TP53, known for its role in repairing damaged DNA."
