The fundamental idea of precision medicine is to offer each cancer patient a treatment approach that is tailored to the unique biology and genetics of their disease.
This two session course provides an understanding of the concepts that underlie precision cancer medicine and both its promise and limitations.
Dr Elaine Vickers – a leading independent educator on the science of new cancer treatments – will explain how far we are able to use precision medicine by exploring the features of cancer we can target now, and where we might get to in the future, as well as looking at when precision medicine fails, and why expectations and realities don’t always align.
