"a method to look at INDIVIDUAL circulating tumor cells (or those in bone marrow) and determine which pathways are active."

Well that could be a game changer as opposed to blocking pathways without knowing whether they are active. Considering te hnumber of pathways possible, very curious as to which/how many they could/would check. If you have a name or other info on it, do tell.
I'm still hoping they drill down to find fewer, but more fundamental approaches..like thwarting glycolysis and angiogenesis.
