A method for treating a patient with cancer. The method includes the steps of obtaining cells from a cancerous tumor in the patient. Then there is the step of performing multiple correlated measurements on each cell to obtain cell data for each cell regarding each cell's place in a genetic evolutionary sequence that had occurred in the tumor. Next there is the step of determining from the cell data a likelihood of recurrence of the cancer by minimizing false negatives. A method for treating a patient with cancer. The method includes the steps of obtaining cells from a cancerous tumor in the patient. Then there is the step of obtaining cell data for each cell regarding each cell's place in a genetic evolutionary sequence that had occurred in the tumor. Next there is the step of recognizing distinctive false negative patterns from the cell data. Then there is the step of correlating the false negative patterns to aberrations in mitogenic signaling to determine a likelihood of recurrence of the cancer in the patient. An apparatus for treating a patient with cancer. The apparatus includes a mechanism for obtaining cell data from cells of a cancerous tumor in the patient to obtain cell data for each cell regarding each cell's place in a genetic evolutionary sequence that has occurred in the tumor. The apparatus includes a mechanism for determining from the cell data a likelihood of recurrence of the cancer by minimizing false negatives.
