The Genetic Puzzle of Cancer: Unlocking the Why Behind the Who The latest breakthrough in cancer research has shed light on a long standing enigma: why some people are more prone to developing cancer than others, despite being exposed to the same environmental risk factors.
A team of scientists from the University of Cambridge and their international collaborators have made an unprecedented discovery that inherited genetics plays a significant role in shaping cancer risk and tumor development.
For decades, researchers have suspected that genetic background contributes to disparate cancer risks observed among individuals.
