DNA chips offer new cancer typing via gene activity
Scientists using penny sized glass chips monitor 18 000 tumor genes to classify diffuse large B cell lymphoma. The technique, described in Nature by Brown and colleagues from Stanford NCI and others, distinguishes two forms and links gene activation patterns to prognosis, suggesting genetics will guide future treatments. Further studies needed.
