Scientists decode Cancer genes

Researchers have now found a way to decode genes of a person, including those genes that initiate Cancer. Using donated cells from a Leukemia victim, scientists compare cancerous cells with the victim's normal healthy cells through DNA, finding mutated cells.
Mutated cells are genetic mistakes, with the ones found in this research project as not in-born, but develop later in life, as a cause of cancer.
The study by Washington University in St.Louis, say the findings will not assist patients immediately, but could lead to new therapies, as well as assisting Doctors make improved choices of treatments.
Within decades, DNA sequencing would be as simples as dropping a sample of patient's blood onto a chip that slides into a desk top computer, and receiving a report that suggests which drugs to treat the patient. Geoff
