In this episode of The Moss Report Podcast, Ralph W. Moss speaks with Dr. Robert Nagourney about his well-documented approach to precision oncology. Nagourney’s strategy takes a step away from genetic sequencing. By taking a biopsy of a tumor, he claims to be able to deduce what treatments will be effective for an individual. Also in this episode is a discussion about repurposed drugs for cancer treatment, including the use of Metformin.

Dr. Nagourney has appeared multiple times on "Extra" for his work with celebrity clients.
