Have you discussed anything about targeted therapies? For example, how the different genetic makeup of some tumors are used to treat them. Keytruda comes to mind.
Antibody drug conjugates also seem to be discussed often:

In his blog, he discusses Keytruda. https://jakeseliger.com/2023/12/19/what-if-things-go-right-w...
I see where he discusses it. He said it only works for a small group and not for him.
He’s mentions trying drugs that target EGFR mutations, which I believe tries to stop the blood supply to the tumor. Targeting specific protein receptors, like HER2 in breast cancer, seems to be promising.

RAS is a target for (some) colon and pancreatic cancers:
