The BATTLE Toward Personalized Lung Cancer Therapy
Edward Kim, M.D., is principal investigator for an innovative set of clinical trials designed to match drugs to the molecular aspects of a patient’s tumor. The trial is called BATTLE, for Biomarker-based Approaches of Targeted Therapy for Lung
Cancer Elimination. The effort is funded by the U.S. Department of Defense and began enrolling patients in November 2006.
“The idea is to learn from the tumor’s biology how best to treat a patient’s lung cancer,” Kim says.“It’s all about getting your hands around cancer and not letting go.” -

Cancer Care Cycle
At M. D. Anderson, we envision the cancer care cycle before it begins, placing significant emphasis on prevention through screening and risk assessment that often allow for early detection when cancer is the most treatable. We’re also pioneers in research on both common and rare cancers as we work to ensure the best in safe and effective care for children and adults when they enter our doors.
