Interesting. My grandmother died of pancreatic cancer. I heard Jimmy Carter’s family had a history of pancreatic cancer, which I am interested in, because (shhhhh) Grandma was a distant cousin of his. (No, we don’t brag about it. Yes, it was the stupid branch of the family.)

The typical pancreatic cancer contained 63 genetic alterations, while the average brain tumor contained 60.

This is interesting. It's not just one "spelling error", but something like a broken keyboard.

Numerous Undiscovered Gene Alterations In Pancreatic And Brain Cancers Revealed

I know these researchers are smart, but how is something revealed if it's undiscovered.....?

it could help single out individuals who are likely to have better outcomes

Unless we are careful, it will also be used to end pregnancies, deny health care, increase the cost of health care for those afflicted.... This is going to become a serious privacy rights issue in the near (10 years) future.
