I think the point is missed here. It’s not that I reject medical dogma. I do expect treatment options to be based on peculiarities and science, not on dogma and statistics. That’s not too much to ask for?

But doesn’t proven science always become dogma? Don’t positive results time after time validate the thesis, which then becomes the proof?
I do not disagree at all that we all have peculiarities, quirks, genetic flaws which may alter our treatment or require ‘out of the box’ solutions.
But we must return to the realities of your healthcare system: PSMA PET and genetic testing cost money; enough money, in fact, that it could possibly be used to treat an additional patient or two with a different malady/injury.
So I think you should be raising your fist to THAT, not dogma.
