Scientists in England have discovered that a patient's complete genetic makeup can lead to positive changes in cancer treatment.

This study has been published in Nature Medicine. In this, information of more than 13 thousand patients has been analyzed.

In this, the mutations behind the development of the tumor are analyzed and the DNA is studied to see whether the patient was born with such a gene due to which the risk of this disease increases.

Researchers found that more than 90 percent of brain tumors and 50 percent of bowel and lung cancers have genetic changes that affect the patient's treatment, such as surgery and specific treatments.
