Mayo Clinic discovery advances potential individualized treatment for mesothelioma
Large chromosomal rearrangements present in mesothelioma could make it possible to understand which patients are likely respond to immunotherapy, researchers at the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine have discovered. The research is published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology. “What we’ve shown so far is that these large complex chromosomal rearrangements are frequent in […]
