Now that we understand more about the genetic origins of cancer and how genes affect the growth and development of tumors, scientists look forward to a knowledge-based approach and a data-driven approach to addressing cancer in the future. Personalized medicine holds promise for cancer treatment.
Personalized medicine holds promise for cancer treatment.
Nature published an article last month on the idea of personalizing medicine based on analysis of the patient’s genes. Current treatment methods decide on the treatment approached based on the organ the cancer develops in. This method evolved over the decades because it provided the highest probability of success for any given patient, given that no details were known about how different patients would respond to different treatments.Now that we understand more about the genetic origins of cancer and how genes affect the growth and development of tumors, scientists look forward to a knowledge-based approach and a data-driven approach to addressing cancer in the future.
