Cancer-causing culprits will be caught by their DNA fingerprints: Study within Pan-Cancer Project will help research into cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatments

Causes of cancer are being catalogued by a huge international study revealing the genetic fingerprints of DNA-damaging processes that drive cancer development. This detailed list of genetic fingerprints will provide clues how each cancer developed. This will help scientists search for previously unknown causes of cancer, leading to better information for prevention strategies, and help signpost new directions for cancer diagnosis and treatments.
