Opera Star Sings Praises of Targeted Lung Cancer Therapy

Last October, opera singer Zheng Cao fell during a performance and had no idea why.  Later, it turned out she had advanced lung cancer. Now, as a result of treatment with a new type of targeted therapy, her cancer is retreating. Personalized medicine - that is, customizing the treatment to the patient's tumor -is rapidly gaining ground in the treatment of lung cancer.This has given hope to patients like Zheng Cao that their lung cancer can be successfully treated.
