Topic: Gene expressions in bile duct cancer

This study appears to come from Sloan Kettering.  Certain gene expressions have been identified for CC.  Eventually, therapies will be developed to address these specific expressions.

Re: Gene expressions in bile duct cancer

I am not sure, but I think some research is already being done. When my doctor was trying to decide whether to use Avastan or 2 other similar drugs, she wanted to test which type of tumor I had. Unfortunately, my sample was to small to test and my original tumor sample in Scotland got lost in the mail to Sweden so we just went with Avastan as it is the most common.

Cancer is a word, not a sentence.
