Article Title: | Breaking the rules of cancer |
Abstract: | A cancer genetics dogma states that hematologic malignancies arise as a result of defined chromosomal translocations, whereas mutations underlie epithelial solid tumors. This rule is now broken in an analysis of chromosomal translocations in prostate cancer. © 2006 Nature Publishing Group. |
