What you have presented here is Exactly what one of our oncologists shared with us last visit! He referred to it as Precision Medicine. The one size fits all SOC is quickly becoming outdated! The research is producing some exciting advances in treatments. Discouraging that many Urologists and Oncologists are not as current as they should be in this regard.
