Re: ASCo report--the more things change, the more things change

Lani,

Just want to find out if doing biopsy of CTCs is a proven method and whether oncologists will agree to do that.

As Brenda mentioned I have mediastinal mets and I would like them to see if anything changed but my onc. wouldn't do that because it is an invasive procedure.
