- Signature of Cancer Cells – “NCI established the signatures of cancer cells as an “avenue of discovery with the potential to change the face of cancer research and care.” Every effort was made to focus resources needed to rapidly discover the molecular changes associated with all tumor cells, develop new technologies that visualize these changes, and deliver innovative approaches for early detection and diagnosis to the clinic. Through six years of intensive work, scientists inside NCI and throughout the country have made dramatic progress.” (From the 2004 NCI’s Plans and Priorities for Cancer Research)
