  Great Question. The annoying thing with cancer is that every cancer is different, not just in location but two people with lung cancer will both be very different and respond to different treatment.
  
  So it’s trying to identify the right drug for the right person that’s the most difficult.
  
  A lot of research is currently being done in that area, but afraid I don’t know when we’ll fully cure it.
