Personalized Cancer Treatments Using Genome Sequencing Are Only Useful in 5% of Patients

Genomic sequencing panels are tests that analyse the DNA of the patient's tumour to look for genetic variants for which there are effective drugs. If the tumour has these variants, treatment can be personalised.

Two Drugs May Be Better Than One for Resistant Breast Cancers

A new study has demonstrated how breast cancer cells can rapidly become resistant to a drug designed to stop them from dividing and also suggests that a combination of drugs may help to treat these resistant tumors.
