Transcript I think we know a lot now about how to treat patients with advanced stage lung cancer, and there are several things that we factor in when we treat patients. One is clearly the genetic makeup of their tumor — we tend to look at this when we’re trying to decide on a targeted drug for these

Transcript I think there are several goals when treating a patient with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. For one I think we want to extend life, two is I think we want to palliate symptoms, and three is I think we want to improve quality of life. So all three of those goals are achievable, I
