      Very interesting question! I would say the worst kind are the ones we haven’t managed to fully understand yet, which means we can’t properly help patients with treatment suggestions, long-term outcomes… For example, for Cancers of Unknown Primary doctors don’t know where they started so they can’t choose the appropriate medicines. In the lab I am working at the moment, we are working on learning how to decipher where these cancers started just from a blood sample from the patient!
