Best explanation of the challenge of precision medicine and the payoff which can occur. I am a patient advocate with a specialty in kidney cancer, and of late, quite concerned that the treatments are just additional tools in a high-risk guessing game.

I would like permission to add this video to my blog at http://www.peggyRCC.com, and to get more information about the current ongoing research described. There are a number of subtypes of papillary kidney cancer, once thought to be a single subtype, now likely three. If this research can be of value to those patients, whether in a clinical trial setting or in conjunction with ongoing treatment,this would be of great interest to current patients.

I look forward to a response and some guidance in this.
Sincerely,
