Personalized medicine & survival prediction

In this episode, Alice Limonciel and Robert Nagourney discuss the benefits of looking into phenotype rather than genotype when studying cancer, how metabolomics contributes to the patient’s journey through personalized medicine, and the ways that survival prediction can be interpreted.
