It won't help... mind you this is an article from the economist. There is no such thing as a cancer "master switch", that would equal a disease master switch and that point we have solved biology.

What do you mean “it won’t help”?

It most likely will help if you get pancreatic cancer. It might help if you get one of the other types of cancers with this mutation.

And it will likely lead to new treatments for some of the worst kinds of cancer.
