What all do they, or can they, check for when they do molecular profiling for PC?

And for each, what drugs and/or therapies might work for each?

For instance, I believe they can test for Cox-2 and Celebrex might be beneficial.

Thanks...

You have looked at prior links I posted a few times by Dr. Bonkhoff and Dr. Rubin and maybe some others, even Bostwick has some testings for such relative/related things. Pretty amazing as to what is possible to know right now, but is seldom actually done right now. If you need to see the links and info let me know.

Thanks Zufus.

I've been dealing with my mom-in-law's breast cancer and there are a few things they check even at biopsy.

I'm thinking for the more expensive PC drugs, it would be nice to know if it would be worth it to use based on some data on the particulars of the cancer.
