Cancer: The molecular outlook
Carlos Caldas1 & Samuel A. J. Aparicio1
Abstract
Many breast-cancer patients receive unnecessary treatment for possible tumour spread after the removal of a primary tumour. Molecular profiling should offer more accurate predictions of who needs such treatment.
The first step in rationally treating a disease is to assess the patient against a classification of diseases, the results being used to predict the person's response to various therapies. The effectiveness of the process depends on the quality of the classification.
- Carlos Caldas and Samuel A. J. Aparicio are in the Cancer Genomics Program, Department of Oncology, University of Cambridge, Hutchison/MRC Research Centre, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge CB2 2XZ, UK.
