On: Last-resort cancer therapy holds back disease for ...

I’m curious, with your fathers situation, is a full sequence from a check swab from a company like Nebula.org helpful?

Or is it the cancerous tissue itself that has to be sequenced?

Thank you for sharing your story. It was beautiful.

Thank you for the kind words.

It's really the cancerous tissue that has to be sampled. Part of what makes cancer so hard to fight is its ability to mutate quickly. Someone with enough means would likely have a tumor sampled multiple times (for instance, sample again after the treatment stops working).
