Cancer Discov. 2017 Jun;7(6):552-554. doi: 10.1158/2159-8290.CD-17-0380.

Abstract

<b/> The excitement surrounding genomically selected cancer therapy has led many to question whether this treatment paradigm is living up to its initial promise. The MOSCATO study suggests that a genome-driven strategy for cancer therapy improves outcomes in a significant minority of patients who undergo molecular screening.
