Cancerous cells are fairly diverse across individuals, or even within a single individual, and many biological treatments require precise sequencing of the tumor DNA of that individual patient to adjust and work. In some cancers, there is a nasty "Russian roulette" effect in play, where a certain treatment may be extremely efficient (in practice a cure, even though oncologists avoid that word) in people with a certain mutation and totally useless in others, even though from the macroscopic point of view, their tumors look the same. |
