Share This O Related Articles ncology researchers studying gene mutations in the childhood cancer neuroblastoma are refining their diagnostic tools to predict which patients are more likely to respond to drugs called ALK inhibitors that target such mutations. Removing some of the guesswork in diagnosis and treatment, the researchers say, may lead to more successful outcomes for children with this often-deadly cancer. "Some mutations are more important than others," said Yaël P. Moss é, MD, a pediatric oncologist at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and a co-leader of the new study published online today in the journal Cancer Cell .
