The genome of the most common form of ovarian cancer is characterized by a few common gene mutations but also surprisingly frequent structural changes in the genome itself, said members of the Cancer Genome Atlas that sequenced and analyzed more than 300 such tumors. The study was the first to achieve an overview of this type of ovarian cancer.
