News & Highlights
Dr. Mark A. Rubin
Whole Genome Sequencing for Prostate Cancer
More DNA Rearrangements Found than Previously Expected. The first study to compare the genomic sequences of multiple prostate tumors has found recurring rearrangements of DNA that may contribute to the development of the disease. Using tumor samples from seven WCMC patients, Dr. Mark A. Rubin (WCMC) and Dr. Levi Garraway of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute confirmed the existence of previously identified genetic changes associated with prostate cancer and discovered other alterations that could lead to new treatments for the disease. The Team from WCMC, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and the Broad Institute of M.I.T. and Harvard reported the findings February 10 in Nature.
