DNA Study Reveals the Personal Pathways Behind Different Tumors

Why do two individuals with the identical cancer diagnosis—the same cell type, the same stage, and the same clinical profile—often experience very different outcomes? Scientists have been researching acquired mutations in cancer for decades in an effort to uncover solutions, but mutations by themselves only account for a part of the problem.
