personalized cancer medicine: a future direction of personal genomics
نویسندگان
چکیده
personalized medicine is significantly changing the fundamentals of healthcare. genetic diagnostic tests are used in various parts of medicine – from initial screening to the diagnosis and finally treatment. investigations in fields of drug development indicate that oncology may lead other therapeutic areas in the number of targeted therapies on the marketplace as well as in the pipeline, expecting that within a few years, all oncology medications will have a related diagnosis. it has been shown that personal genomics will influence other important therapeutic areas, including the clinical decision making. in conclusion, personalized medicine is just getting started for hematology and respiratory medical therapies, as well as oncology.

A few recent examples indicate that these drugs are mainly, if not exclusively, active against tumors of a particular genotype that can be identified by a diagnostic test, usually by detecting a somatic alteration in the tumor DNA. However, for the majority of targeted...
