Re: Cancer secret to success?! Finding your match!

GDP, you are preaching to the choir. I did not mean to start a debate, I agree with all you have pointed out. I just selfishly want microarrays to hit the consumer as I cannot donate a large chunk...

Re: Cancer secret to success?! Finding your match!

I didn't read all the previous posts, so I'm sorry if I am repetitive. I read the requirements for sending your tumor type off to get tested and they need about a gram of viable, fresh tumor AND you...
