Jacob Adashek: Tissue is not the issue
Jacob Adashek recently shared a post by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) on Linkedin, adding:
“Tissue is not the issue! Glad to see the National Cancer Institute (NCI) posting our newest treatment summary!”
Quoting the National Cancer Institute (NCI)’s post:
“Precision medicine has rapidly changed the oncology field.
The FDA has approved both gene- and immune-targeted drugs for tissue-agnostic, genomic biomarker-based indications in patients with lethal solid tumors and blood cancers.
The list of drugs approved for tumors with genomic alterations will likely expand as the understanding of the science driving these cancers continues to advance.
Learn more about tissue-agnostic targeted drugs.”
