This is important as it helps target specific treatment plans relative to the pinpointed type of cancer as some drugs work better with certain types of cancers than others.
Rosetta Genomics Interview – microRNA for Diagnosing Lung Cancer Tumors
We talked about the lab and it’s advantageous geographic location, the lab will continue to provide the analysis process, which is good. The company has agreements and works with Johns Hopkins and the M.D. Cancer Centers. The company has an extensive data base of microRNA profiles that was started back in the year 2000. BD
