Changing paradigms
in cancer research
Robert Weinberg, Member, Whitehead Institute
Many cancer therapeutics were developed before
scientists fleshed out the molecular defects responsible
for the abnormal behavior of cancer cells. Discover
how an understanding of the genetic basis of cancer
and the theory of cancer stem cells could lead
to new treatments.
