Video

The expert from the Otto J. Ruesch Center for the Cure of Gastrointestinal Cancers discussed precision medicine with regard to cancer care, as well as the need to make such care more accessible for the global community.

In an article published in the journal Oncology®, John L. Marshall, MD, of the Otto J. Ruesch Center for the Cure of Gastrointestinal Cancers, discussed precision medicine with regard to cancer care, as well as the need to make such care more accessible for the global community.

“Cancer care can no longer be a luxury item, only for the rich. We must work toward wide access,” Marshall wrote. “Opening markets through collaborative science will secure the return on investment for our business partners, and secure our progress toward finding the cures for cancer.”

In an interview with CancerNetwork®, Marshall spoke about his paper further and why precision medicine will change global cancer care for decades to come.
