“Because of precision medicine, I’m here today,” said Irene Price, referring to the treatment that she received at Weill Cornell Medicine’s Genitourinary (GU) Oncology Program after she searched the New York Tri-State Area for an expert bladder cancer center. When Irene’s tumor was removed, the biopsy and genetic sequencing showed that a breast cancer drug would be the best treatment choice for her bladder cancer. This approach to treating cancer is called precision medicine and is one of the many ways the oncologists at Weill Cornell Medicine design unique and innovative cancer treatment regimens. According to Irene, she is grateful for the mix of cutting-edge science, medical expertise, and compassion she experienced with every visit to the GU Oncology Program at Weill Cornell Medicine.

I was originally diagnosed with bladder cancer, and I believe that was in 2009. I was looking for a doctor. I started with a doctor in New Jersey that lasted a minute and a half. My family and I did some research, and we decided that Cornell Weill seemed to be on top of bladder cancer. Bladder cancer isn't the most common cancer around, and they seemed to be doing innovative things. I had surgery a year and a half ago, and because of that surgery I was able to take part in precision medicine. And because of precision medicine, I'm here today, because through that they found out that even though I have bladder cancer, the analysis of the tumor that they removed and my bladder that they removed showed that there is an amplification, I guess you would say, to breast cancer. So therefore, even though I have bladder cancer, I am being treated with breast cancer drugs. So the concept of targeting the patient's therapy is what we call precision medicine, which is really another way for saying, we want to be precise about this patient and his tumor. We do that by actually biopsying the tumor, sequencing it, doing DNA and RNA analysis, saying, "Gee, this looks like something that we can target, something that we can treat. We want to do what's right and what's best for the patient.My relationship with the doctors and their staff has been warm, compassionate, and professional. I walk in the hospital, and there isn't one person that I pass that doesn't smile and say hello. There always seemed to be something else that they were willing and could try, and I think I've had the best medical advice that I possibly could. It is a wonderful, wonderful thing, and I'm very, very fortunate that I've had Dr. Nanus to guide me.
