Patient response to the therapy was assessed through physical examination and imaging. "Integrating genomic data with state-of-the-art clinical and imaging information to develop and apply targeted therapies has certainly taken a major step forward with the encouraging results from the Hedgehog trial," added Dr. Ron Korn, a Scottsdale Healthcare radiologist and director of Scottsdale Medical Imaging Ltd.

Cancer research at Scottsdale Healthcare is administered through its research arm, the Scottsdale Clinical Research Institute.

Dr. Von Hoff's team sees patients in the TGen Clinical Research Services clinic in the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center at Scottsdale Healthcare. The cancer center is located on the campus of Scottsdale Healthcare Shea Medical Center.

The trial sponsored by Genentech also included sites at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit.
