• Cancer prevention

  

  Despite decades of research, cancer in all its guises still kills millions of people each year. The good news is that the more we understand about cancer, the more it appears to be avoidable — not just through smarter eating and healthier lifestyle choices but also with vaccines and chemopreventive drugs. However, a formidable set of scientific, institutional and cultural obstacles stand in the way.

• Cancer genomics

  

  Cancer is a disease of the genome. The past decade has seen breathtaking advances in the characterization of point mutations and structural alterations in a wide range of cancers; all thanks to next-generation sequencing technologies. Increasingly, the complete genome sequences of a large number of cancer types are being obtained, providing us with a comprehensive view of cancer development. In this Nature special we showcase recent genome-based efforts to construct such genomic profiles of cancer
