Summary

This study looked at whether it's possible to use a child's tumor DNA to choose their next treatment. 186 children with cancers that came back or didn't respond to standard therapy had their tumors analyzed. The goal was to see if this approach could be done quickly enough to guide real-time treatment decisions.
