Recently, for example within the i supported research it was reported that giving people with Colorectal Cancer less treatment they actually did better than people with more treatment, an important part of the Precision Medicine initiative which, thanks to your committee and congress has been strongly supported, we have been conducting research that is trying to understand better how the molecular abnormalities with Breast Cancer and other cancers can have implications for what treatments should different patients be obtaining as we try to refine those opportunities and interventions.
