The findings are published by Wiley online at CANCERa peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society.

Scientists have discovered a way to target elusive circular DNA fragments that drive survival of some of the most aggressive cancers, paving the way for future treatments.

The papers identify, for the first time, how to target specific cancer cells that contain this malignant DNA, a…
