Prof Tak talks to ecancer at the IMProving care And Knowledge through Translational research (IMPAKT) meeting in Brussels, May 2012, about his insights in to the basis for molecular therapy. Prof Tak uses an analogy of oncogenes being the 'horses' pulling the 'cart' of cancer.

Prof Tak points out that while it looks promising to target any one of the hundreds of oncogenes which cause cancer, they essentially all result in the same 2 or 3 metabolic pathways so perhaps we should be investigating the metabolism processes instead, as a potential for a 'catch-all' treatment.
