2013年8月14日出版的《自然》杂志上发表了一篇具有划时代意义的论文,全世界公认的癌症研究领域的领军者、英国维康信托桑格研究所测出了大量癌细胞的基因序列,并逐一进行了分析。在解说这一发现以前,还是先让我们来看看癌症的历史吧。“癌”字何来?癌症这个词,最早是由被誉为“医学之父”的希腊名医希波克拉底在公元前5世纪提出的。他首先用“carcinos”和“carcinoma”来描述非溃疡性和溃疡 An epoch-making essay was published in the journal Nature published on August 14, 2013. The world’s recognized leader in cancer research and the UK’s Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute tested a large number of genes for cancer cells. Sequences were analyzed one by one. Before explaining this discovery, let us first look at the history of cancer. “Cancer” come from? The word “cancer” was first proposed by Greek Hippocrates, known as the father of medicine, in the 5th century BC. He first used “carcinos” and “carcinoma” to describe non-ulcerative and ulcers
