2006 International Genome Institute has just ended.

The General Assembly the exciting news: "the cancer genome project" has started in the United States, and China's imminent accession to the international collaboration in the field of science and technology, as the "human genome project".

"The cancer genome project" is expected in the next 13 years identified lung cancer, fights, ovarian cancer, etc. all troubled human cancer oncogene culprit, diagnosing, treatment that "fatal".

Researchers said that there are many kinds of cancer. Each tumor has its own unique genetic blueprint. At the same time, even if the same cause of cancer-causing. But through the "cancer genome project" global scientists hope to unravel all cancer individually, thereby establishing a shared database. By then, the program can truly benefit human health.

Of course, the tumor can be wiped out one by one, and the first to be resolved may be fights, lung cancer and ovarian cancer.

If you want to give mankind eventually overcome cancer plus a time period, it can only be "undecided". However, the United States National Human Genome Research Institute, Collins is still optimistic estimates that by 2020, with gene to the public for the treatment of diseases will become possible. And in 5 years ago, he openly expected 2010-genetic diagnosis will become a reality. It is expected that in the face of the past, he very confidently said: "the next two or three years through genetic diagnosis disease will be more precise, scientific. " Despite the time yet, but apparently is going the right way. On human terms, it means that we started to conquer cancer.
