The scientific community knows that the accumulation of genetic mutations in healthy cells can turn them into carcinogens. This has implied that the investigations focus on getting personalized therapiescfor each molecular profile of the tumor. In recent studies, a new tumor subtype has been discovered, which makes us have a broader view of this cancer.

SCIENTIFIC SCOPE: Oncology

GLOSSARY:

1. Oncology: Part of the pathology that studies tumors and their treatment.
2. Hepatologist: They are specialists focused on the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the liver.
3. Urology: Is the medical-surgical specialty that deals with the study, diagnosis and treatment of pathologies that affect the urinary system, adrenal glands and retroperitoneum of men and the male reproductive system.
4. Tumor:Is any alteration of the tissues that produces an increase in volume. It is an abnormal enlargement of a part of the body that appears, therefore, swollen or distended.
5. RNA: Is a nucleic acid formed by a chain of ribonucleotides.

COMMENT OF THE TEXT:

The fact that they have discovered this tumor variety is a great advance for research and, as experts say, it makes us see a broader perspective on tumors. This will allow that little by little better treatments for each tumor can be given and that more can be investigated for possible future tumors.
