The treatment of cancer is undergoing a radical change. In the future, patients will no longer receive "generic" chemotherapy, but rather therapy that is specifically tailored to their tumor. This will require the application of sensitive new molecular tools to traditional biopsy methods, such as those used by cytopathologists.

We strongly believe that the application of molecular techniques to cytologic biopsy samples will vastly improve the detection and treatment of cancer in the future. But these new technologies require resources above and beyond those we have already dedicated to this research. Financial support is needed to develop creative new approaches to cancer diagnosis, including breast cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, and cervical cancer.
