The ‘memories’ of lung cancer cells can guide treatment improvement by unveiling their past responses to therapies. Scientists analyze these cellular memories using advanced sequencing techniques and assess how cancer cells adapt and evolve. Understanding these adaptive mechanisms helps in designing personalized treatments targeting specific vulnerabilities and resistant pathways, fostering more effective and tailored therapies against lung cancer.
