CBS news medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook reported that scientists decoded the entire genetics of a cancer cell from a woman with leukemia. This helps scientists understand cancer & start to target cancer therapy to specific cancer cells. Hopefully, there will be personalized cancer treatments in the future which target the mutated DNA instead of what we generally have now- one size fits all cancer treatment!
