This is proof positive that before any treatment regime is decided on both Genomic and Germline testing should be done! Germline testing would reveal treatment regimes that are specific to the DNA make up of the patient...Genomic testing could show what treatments are specific to the cells of the tumor the same patient carries...but none of this is done unless you ask for it...if a shoe store could sell the same size shoe to all of its customers it would only stock that one size! Really easy and profitable business model, but it hell on the feet...check these podcasts out...Rick
