Major Breakthrough Cancer Cures

Personalized Medicine

We are now moving towards a more personalized approach, redefining cancer and available treatments. Not only is the type and location of cancer important, but it is also specific to the patient's molecular and genetic makeup. Although still in the early stages, this form of treatment is rapidly evolving. This gave way to targeted therapy, which took off in the late 1990s, thus allowing doctors to customize treatment based on individual patient needs. Since then, this approach has improved significantly, as genetic testing and genetic mutations become a key area of interest. New research has possibly uncovered the 'Achilles heel' of cancer cells, allowing researchers to focus on the core mutation within cancer cells.
