7. Pre-treatment blood test could guide lung cancer therapy
   06-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A multi-center team, led by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators, has developed a new pre-treatment blood test that predicts which non-small-cell lung cancer patients will live longer when they are treated with certain targeted cancer therapies (Iressa, Tarceva). The mass spectrometry-based test, described in the June 6 Journal of the National Cancer Institute, may allow physicians to select the most beneficial therapy for each lung cancer patient, a step forward in the era of personalized medicine.
