Clinical Pearls:

  • Physicians have known for some time that there are molecular targets that are amenable to therapy
  • Now that the entire genome can be sequenced, physicians are understanding more about mutations in breast cancer
  • Upon sequencing the tumors of many patients with breast cancer, physicians are finding that no two tumors are the same
  • New mutations may be picked up after analyzing a patient’s tumor after treatment
