We have different pathways of how things go right.
Even between individuals, we have different ways that things go wrong.
And we see this in the evolution of how
we treat cancer, like we started treating cancer based on organs, right?
You had breast cancer, you had colon cancer, and you would remove the tumor and you do some chemotherapy and radiation, which is carpet bombs the body.
And that was the way of thinking of treating it.
And then we started to understand the mutations in each tumor, right?
This was a big sort of finding in sort of the late 90s and genomics coming online.
And then we started to say, well, can we target different mutations in those cancers?
And so instead of treating cancers by sort of their area, their tumors located now, drugs are getting approved based on, well, what are the mutations within that cancer that we want to target?
And the story has been
ever and ever more individualized biology in terms of like what pathways are going wrong.
And that's to the level that even within an individual tumor in someone's body, there's different mutations in different cancer cells and it's called like tumor heterogeneity.
So even within one tumor, different biological pathways are going wrong in different parts of the tumor.
So it really is something that's not just like,
a static disease process or a single mechanism that needs to be treated.
It is a series of many mechanisms and mechanisms that are adaptive and evolving and pushing back.
Yeah.
So one of the attempting thing to say, it's like, well, we know if we catch cancer early, it has a better treatment prognosis.
So why don't we just catch all cancers really early and like figure out how we detect every cancer cell that goes wrong in the body.
