Doctors try genetic matching to fight Kids' cancer relapse
NCT ID NCT02780128
Summary
This study tested a personalized approach for children and young adults whose neuroblastoma (a nerve cell cancer) had returned or stopped responding to standard treatments. Doctors first performed a tumor biopsy to look for specific genetic changes. If a matching change was found, patients received a combination of targeted drugs designed to attack their cancer's unique genetic drivers.
