At Ohio State University Comprehensive Care Cancer Center, doctors and researchers are working with patients to target therapies personalized to the kind of cancer each person might have. While there is no one approach for all cancers, new research is giving doctors a way to better tailor treatment options. Check out this video and see what's going on in this research.
