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.” -
