The idea that a lack of methyl on the DNA can lead to human cancer is still just a hypothesis, and in any case oncologists have no drugs that can correct genome-wide undermethylation. DNA上缺少甲基会导致人类出现癌症的想法,还只是个假说,肿瘤学家手头上也没有任何药物,可以用来改善基因组上的全面去甲基化。
Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. A medical professional who practices oncology is an oncologist. The name's etymological origin is the Greek word ὄνκος (ónkos), meaning "tumor", "volume" or "mass".
