Is Next-Generation Sequencing a Right for Patients with GI Cancers?

In the latest episode of "Oncology Peer Review On-The-Go," CancerNetwork examines a Q&A piece in the August issue of the journal ONCOLOGY discussing next-generation sequencing for gastrointestinal cancers. The article is titled “Ushering in the Era of Precision Medicine” and it focuses on a conversation with Tanios Bekaii-Saab, MD, of the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona. 

 

For a responding perspective, CancerNetwork spoke with Howard Hochster, MD, of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey. Dr. Hochster discussed his feelings regarding next-generation sequencing, and suggests alternative ways to treat patients with GI cancers.
