Tumour growth can be prevented by removing excess chromosomes from cancer
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
According to a recent Yale study, cancer cells with additional chromosomes rely on those chromosomes for tumour formation, and removing them stops the cells from growing tumours. The results, according to the researchers, point to the possibility of a novel cancer treatment strategy that spe
