AI Analysis of Cancer Mutations may Improve Therapy

Cancer has many faces - no wonder, then, that the range of cancer-causing mutations is huge as well. The totality of such genomic alterations in an individual is what experts call a "mutational landscape." These landscapes differ from one another depending on the type of cancer. And even people suffering from the same cancer often have different mutation patterns.
