"GAME-ON & OncoArray: An International Collaboration to Discover Cancer Genetic Risk Factors," describes how the OncoArray Network investigates the genetic architecture and mechanisms underlying cancers of the breast, ovary, prostate, colorectum, and lung. DCEG Director Stephen Chanock, M.D., was interviewed for the video. The Genetic Associations and Mechanisms in Oncology (GAME-ON) initiative was launched in 2010, jointly supported by the NCI Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences and the Division of Cancer Biology. The overall goal was to foster an intra-disciplinary and collaborative approach to the translation of promising research leads deriving from the initial wave of cancer genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

DCEG researchers investigate the causes of cancer at the population level. Together with their trainees, our experts pair genetic and genomic studies of common and rare malignancies with classical epidemiological approaches. Watch our scientists discuss genome-wide association studies, HPV genomics, Li-Fraumeni Syndrome natural history studies.
