The future of cancer treatment? It’s so personal, it’s hiding in your genes.
Genetic information about cancer cells is helping doctors understand the causes of each individual’s cancer, and it provides clues to how it might respond to treatment.
With us for this episode of My Time, My Voice is Gwyn Bebb. He’s a Calgary oncologist who treats lung cancer. He’ll explain how healthcare providers can connect researchers and patients. Together, they can gather data that will help build the future of oncology.
“One day, I think we will be able to more precisely individualize treatment to the benefit of each patient
that
we see.”
