A closer look
Blasting a child's tiny body with generic toxic chemicals is thankfully being replaced by weaponized DNA analysis. In modern pediatric oncology, doctors now utilize pharmacogenomic profiling to map a child's exact genetic metabolic rate before ever administering a single drop of chemotherapy. Because specific genetic mutations process cancer drugs at wildly different speeds, this precision dosing ensures the medicine remains in the bloodstream long enough to obliterate leukemia cells, but never long enough to accidentally poison the child's healthy organs.
