  Thanks for the share, some day soon all patients will have genetic screening done and many will find a drug not normally used in their cancer. Two programs come to mind in this field, Tapur and NCI match.https://www.tapur.org/patients  https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/nci-supported/nci-match
