Now, I am a surgeon who looks after patients with sarcoma. Sarcoma is a very rare form of cancer.

It's the cancer of flesh and bones. And I would tell you that every one of my patients is an outlier, is an exception.

We'll even establish international collaborations. Those patients will start to talk to each other through chat rooms and support groups.

It was desirable to him because he had contacted other patients who had experienced it. And so exceptions and outliers in medicine

does not only apply to the outliers and exceptions. It is not that we only learn from sarcoma patients ways to manage sarcoma patients.

It is not that we only learn from sarcoma patients ways to manage sarcoma patients. Sometimes, the outliers

is that I know that all too well. I have conversations with these patients with rare and deadly diseases. I write about these conversations.

There's this gap between knowing that patients' lives, the context of where they live and work, matters, and the ability to do something about it

Doctors and nurses can get better at asking about the context of patients' lives, not simply because it's better bedside manner,

let's look at our data together. Let's see if we can discover some patterns in our data about our patients' lives and see if we can identify an upstream cause,

we have come a step closer to actually bringing this platform to the clinic. In a preliminary study across 200 breast cancer patients, we have actually shown that we can use oncRNAs

after they have received treatment, and knowing which patients have remaining disease, tells clinicians who needs additional treatment or monitoring
