Title Study reveals how ionising radiation damages DNA and causes cancer Media name/outlet Medical News Today Country/Territory United States Date 04/1/25 Description For the first time, researchers from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and their collaborators have been able to identify in human cancers two characteristic patterns of DNA damage caused by ionising radiation. These fingerprint patterns may now enable doctors to identify which tumours have been caused by radiation, and investigate if they should be treated differently.
Published in Nature Communications, the results will also help to explain how radiation can cause cancer.URL https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/mnt/releases/312863#1 Persons David Neal
