DNA Case Studies
Noreen Fraser, who succumbed to Breast Cancer in early 2017 after fighting with it for 16 long years, was a strong proponent of DNA testing and the benefits we can gain from DNA testing. She suggested that Cancer be a chronic condition like AIDS and Diabetes that we can live with. She believed that DNA testing today can give a lot more information about the makeup of tumor that would help doctors and scientists find a specific drug to kill the strain of Breast Cancer rather than the hunt and peck chemo method we have today. By storing her DNA for a longer period and performing advanced tests in the future when available, it would help us identify and treat the condition before it became critical in the next generation or other people who might suffer from the same condition.
