Nobel laureate Harold Varmus discusses the intersection of cancer
biology and cancer medicine. Varmus, president of Memorial Sloan-
Kettering Cancer Center in New York, earned his Nobel Prize for
discovering retroviral oncogenes that can cause cancer. That work
changed the way people thought about cancer: Rather than being a
disease caused by environmental exposure, it could result from
mutations in specific genes. Now, much cancer research and the search
for therapeutics focus on genetic changes in cancer.
