Tumor genetic profiling is becoming critical for tailoring chemotherapy and other treatments for glioblastoma.

“So nowadays we actually know specifically what kind of mutations are involved in the tumor and that's going to be really critical for this next chapter which is using those genetic alterations actually to um to tailor and personalize you know uh chemotherapy and more.”

“Now uh in most academic medical centers you'll also get a genetic profile of the tumor. So nowadays we actually know specifically what kind of mutations are involved”

“So nowadays we actually know specifically what kind of mutations are involved and that's going to be really critical for this next chapter which is using those genetic alterations to tailor and personalize you know uh chemotherapy and more. So um this has big implications because um we're now moving from an era where we use a visualization of the hisystologology now to this molecular profiling which is more mechanistic. Um the new chemo agents are really going to be targeting mechanisms as opposed to general things like cell cycle um and metabolism and things like that.”
