Young adults’ tumours carried fewer acquired DNA changes
An observational study compared genomes from 698 people aged 18–39 and 5,220 older adults; their tumours largely shared the same cancer-driving genetic changes.An observational study compared genomes from 698 people aged 18–39 and 5,220 older adults; their tumours largely shared the same cancer-driving genetic changes.
Preprint: cross-sectional study of 698 adolescents and young adults with cancer, against older adultsMechanisms
Limit: Age-dependent cancer subtypes could explain some apparent age differences in tumour genomes
