<p>Cancer claims the lives of more than one half million americans each year, more than 1500 each day.</p>

<p>What is the definition of cancer?</p>

<p>Cancer cells grow faster, adapt better. They are more perfect versions of ourselves.</p>

<p>How to identify genetic targets in Cancer cells so that therapeutics could be developed to attack them?</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Can we classify cancers by their mutations?</p>

<p>-&gt; Just&nbsp;sequencing and compare with so far discovered is not enough because of their unexpected mutations.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>very interesting in that approach cancer in the problem of mutation in specific tissue. By using genome in that field,</p>

<p>catagorize and see their prediction is getting much easier.</p>

<p>However, i&#39;m quite wonder that as mentioned on top, can we classify cancer?</p>

<p>Cancer it self is in fact defined by human. cancer is variable. cancer can be different for differnet cirscumstance.</p>

<p>That&#39;s why i think it is very hard to classify all of them.</p>
