Scientists have unlocked the entire genetic code of two of the most common cancers - skin and lung - a move they say could revolutionize cancer care.
Scientists around the globe are now working to catalog all the genes that go wrong in many types of human cancer. It is a worldwide effort. The UK is looking at breast cancer, Japan at liver and India at mouth. China is studying stomach cancer, and the US is looking at cancers of the brain, ovary and pancreas.
The International Cancer Genome Consortium scientists from the 10 countries involved say it will take them at least five years and many hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete this mammoth task. But once they have done this, patients will reap the benefits.
