23andMe联合20个肺癌倡导组织宣布一项新研究,旨在推进肺癌研究。
The focus of the Lung Cancer Genetics Study is to better understand the genetics of people with lung cancer in order to improve detection, risk reduction, and care. While recent developments in tumor genetic testing and targeted therapies have provided hope and years of survival to many lung cancer patients, lung cancer remains the number one cause of cancer deaths in both men and women in the United States. Yet, much remains unknown about the disease and its causes.
肺癌基因研究的重点是更好地了解肺癌患者的基因,从而提高检测、降低风险和改善护理。虽然肿瘤基因检测和靶向治疗的最新发展为许多肺癌患者带来了希望和多年的生存时间,但肺癌仍然是美国男女最致命的癌症。然而,关于这种疾病及其原因仍有很多未知。
