Gene Sequencing - Great NYTimes Article
Hi All!
The NY Times has just put up the first in a three-part series of articles on gene sequencing for cancer treatment, focusing on a doctor-researcher at Washington University in St. Louis who has ALL. It's an excellent article, and has a really great illustration with it of how the gene sequencing led to identifying a treatment. This is undoubtedly where we are headed in treatment for MDS and other cancers, as soon as the price of sequencing gets cheaper. So check it out! if the link above doesn't work for you or you can't get past the NYT paywall (I think they let non-subscribers read 20 articles a month), send me an email or private message and I'll get you a copy. Take care! Greg
