Genetic sequencing technology is altering the way cancer is diagnosed and treated, but traditional specimen handling methods threaten to slow that progress. That's the message delivered in a viewpoint column appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) by Scripps Clinic physicians. Read more here.

Study mentioned: Goetz L, et al. Rebooting cancer tissue handling in the sequencing era: toward routine use of frozen tumor tissue. JAMA. 2013 Jan 2;309(1):37-8. PMID: 23280221
