Chronic Disease: A disease that persists for an extended amount of time. In order for the disease to be considered chronic, it lasts for about 3 months or more. These diseases often cannot be prevented by vaccines or cured by medication, nor do they just disappear.
Identification of the many complex genetic aberrations associated with cancers, and deciphering their role in disease progression and response to treatment is one of the major challenges face...
