MSK scientists are shedding new light on a tumor’s earliest moments — revealing how lung cells with cancer-causing mutations recruit accomplices from healthy surrounding tissue to pave the way for a tumor to develop.
New MSK research develops a new tool for studying mitochondrial DNA deletions; uncovers mechanisms of histiocytosis-associated neurodegeneration; and investigates how mutant stem cells co-opt regeneration to make tumors grow.
Learn how MSK experts are improving the detection and treatment of lung cancer, from fundamental questions of the disease biology to new screening and therapy options.
