Where this comes from

Abstract

Precision oncology is revolutionizing cancer care, but isn't reaching enough patients. Molecular tumor boards (MTBs) translate complex genomic data to more effectively inform personalized care, and a new meta-analysis shows they boost clinical outcomes. But how can we feasibly and equitably expand the use of MTBs?
