Two genetic hits (more or less) to cancer

Most cancers have many chromosomal abnormalities, both in number and in structure, whereas some show only a single aberration, which indicates that cancers can arise from small numbers of events that affect common cell birth and death processes.

Aetiology of cancer in Asia.

Infectious agents such as Helicobacter pylori, hepatitis B and C viruses, and human papillomavirus were shown to be associated with elevated risks of stomach, liver and cervical cancer, respectively, and environmental exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution, arsenic, radon, asbestos and second hand smoke was shown to increase the lung cancer risk.

Drug-Diagnostic Co-Development in Cancer

The targeted clinical trial design allows for an increased success rate in the individual drug-diagnostic co-developments by reducing the failure rate, which in turn will reduce development costs and time, and hence increase the probability of therapeutic and registration success.
