can be done on your original tumor or a met by Targeted Molecular Diagnostics (see RobinP's posts)

I am not an oncologist, just one who follows the literature closely

But since these are just a different order of giving drugs off=label (Iressa isn't available I think, but tarceva should be?)...perhaps worth showing to your oncologist since it is hot off the press

Just a thought!
