My blog: bkoffman.blogspot.com sports the second part of the interview with Dr. Sharman, plus my discussion of predictive versus prognostic markers, and some bad news.

Very interesting to hear what Dr Sharman considers useful tests which starts at 2:40. Seems Zap-70 has had its day.

Thanks Brian. It's frustrating hearing about these new markers while there is no testing for them at present. I asked my consultant if I was likely to get tested for BIRC3 or SF3B1 while on the RESONATE2 Imbruvica study but it seems there are no plans to.

I tend to think that if BIRC3 is as bad as p17/p53, I would know it by now if I had it after nearly 4 years with the 11q.

It is frustrating, but may be moot with the new meds. Still unclear.
