Over a thousand scientists have built the most detailed picture of cancer ever in a landmark study.
Their research was published in the journal Nature, and was carried out by the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes Consortium. They analyzed the genetic code of 2,658 cancers.
The study said that cancer was like a 100,000-piece jigsaw and until this study 99% of the pieces were missing. It has taken teams in 37 countries more than a decade to figure out.
