Nobel laureate Harold Varmus discusses the intersection of cancer biology
and cancer medicine at the 2008 Tseng lecture, sponsored by the Stanford Cancer Center. Varmus, president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
in New York, earned his Nobel Prize for discovering retroviral oncogenes
that can cause cancer. This work changed the way people thought about
cancer: Rather than being a disease caused by environmental exposure, it
could result from mutations in specific genes. Now much cancer research and
the search for therapeutics focuses on genetic changes in cancer. |
