UC-Santa Cruz Database Expanded To Include Information on Childhood Cancers
A University of California-Santa Cruz database containing information on thousands of cancer patients has been expanded to include data on childhood cancers. The new data on childhood cancers comes from a National Cancer Institute initiative called Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments, or TARGET, which aims to identify the molecular changes that affect the development and progression of five major types of childhood cancer.
