But did you know that of the £1 billion spent on providing chemotherapy every year, half goes straight down the drain? The reason is that our medical techniques are essentially based on guesswork. Often, doctors prescribe drugs that have no benefit. They cannot kill the tumour’s cells because they are not targeted at its specific genetic profile. Yet now the revolution in genetic science offers the chance to have treatments tailored to our personal...
