Precision Medicine: Dr. Lucio Miele and team discover how some cancer cells resist treatment
As posted on EurekAlert! and published in PLOS ONE, an international team of scientists co-led by Lucio Miele, MD, PhD, Professor Professor and Chair of Genetics at LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine, and Justin Stebbing, BM BCh MA, PhD, Professor of Cancer Medicine and Medical Oncology at Imperial College of Medicine in London, has found new genetic mutations that promote the survival of cancer cells. The research also provided a clearer understanding of how some cancer cells are able to resist treatment. With this information, therapy could be tailored to the evolving genomic picture of each individual cancer -- the hallmark of precision medicine.
