Cancer: Drivers and passengers
Daniel A. Haber1 & Jeff Settleman1
Abstract
Studies that have provided the first unbiased, large-scale analyses of DNA mutations across an array of cancers also have lessons for the proposal to annotate the entire cancer genome.
Cancer results from an accumulation of mutations and other heritable changes in susceptible cells. So far, abnormalities in about 350 genes have been implicated in human cancers, but the true number of 'cancer genes' is unknown.
