Two More Cancer Genomes Are Sequenced

Two new studies from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network – one on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and the other on endometrial cancer – represent the program's latest efforts to sequence the genomes of 20 major cancers. The studies offer insights into the molecular underpinnings of these cancers with the potential to improve treatment.
