Research1 has shown that delivering tumor profiling results to cancer patients prior to initiation of treatment and connecting patients harboring an actionable oncogenic mutation with the right targeted therapy can deliver superior patient outcomes. To fulfill this promise of precision medicine, we need to ensure more targeted therapies are available to patients who need them. Fortunately, this work is well underway.
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has agreed to pay $15 million to the U.S. government in a settlement to resolve allegations that, between 2014 and 2024, Dana-Farber violated the False Claims Act by “using fraudulent images in grant applications and research articles to induce the NIH to pay millions of dollars to support research at Dana-Farber.”
