Re: Had lung surgery to have my tumors tested for chemo sensitivity

Talked with their staff in the instance I mentioned, not with Dr. Nagourney himself. This is such a good approach but the sample collection can really pose problems. This really should be done from the beginning with the primary surgery. It literally pains me to think how much more effective adjuvant therapy might be. We could be making the absolute most of what's available now instead of banking on more theoretical biopsy characteristics. Aarrg.
