The road from Rous sarcoma virus to precision medicine
Olivier Elemento
Abstract
In 1911, more than a century ago, Peyton Rous described a curious observation, later explained by a virus named for him that led to the discovery of oncogenes, the modern era of cancer research, and the emergent field of precision medicine (1911. J. Exp. Med. https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.13.4.397).
