| Can we tailor therapy for cancer patients? |
| |
| Just like every patient is unique, every patient’s cancer is different. Understanding these differences can hold the key to effectively treating and even curing cancer.
Recent advancements in science and technology are rapidly fueling progress in personalizing cancer therapy due to:
- Large amounts of data generated by research and clinical diagnostics.
- The increasing ability of machine learning and artificial intelligence to make sense of it all.
