Treatment of cancer cells involve the use of a cocktail of drugs, "Darwinian medicine". Thus with this technology it may be possible to take this into account.

This is an incredible step forward. But do they imply that a cancer is continuously mutating and the genetic treatment devised on Thursday may not be effective 2 weeks later, after a few 'generations'? Wow!! This is an incredible step forward.
