Scientists across Britain are to map the genes of the tumours of 850 lung cancer patients in a bid to understand more about the deadly disease.
The ?14m research at six centres aims to find out how lung cancers become resistant to treatment; they are the most common cause of UK cancer death.
The study will trace how lung tumours develop and evolve over nine years.
Some 42,000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer in the UK every year, with about 35,000 deaths from the disease.
