Study reveals genetic diversity of cancer that has spread

  New research into the genetic and molecular features of cancers that have spread has revealed the diversity of these tumours and the immune cells within.  The US team behind the research suggest that the findings could help guide treatment decisions in the future and identify patients who might benefit from certain treatments, such as those that target the immune system.  €œOur hypothesis is that we could use this to help determine who is likely to respond to immunotherapy,€ said lead researcher Dr Arul Chinnaiyan from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.  As cancers develop and progress, they can
